I am continuing to love school. I think this may be the field for me. I am sailing through with nothing to drop my sails so far. That first test I did ace and have aced another since then. Lets be honest I have made A's on every test that has come my way. Not of my own doing. When I was working off my own steam I could pull off B's but made quite a few C's. God has truly blessed me with a grasp of Surgical Technology. I was told by another classmate that he was expecting great things from me. I asked why that was and he said I can tell you are very smart. How kind is that.
I found a website yesterday where I could watch a laparoscopic radical hysterectomy using the daVinci robot, I did not have time to watch it all but I sure enjoyed what I did see. I am amazed at what all I will have to know and do in surgery these days. The job description I had, has now been amplified to knowing how to set-up, operate and troubleshoot various surgical robots, such as daVinci, ZEUS and AESOP. They are absolutely amazing and transforming the way we have known operations. We may see a day when all operations are outpatient. We are already able to do laparoscopic heart surgeries, which means they don't have to crack the sternum but rather go in through the intercostal space (between the ribs). Transplants are another story but who knows the way technology is going.
