The First Day of Internship


I went to the local hospital, which is only 20 minutes far from my school. I was so excited to go there even though I had to leave at 7:40 am. With all excitement in my mind, I drove there. Under the instruction of a lot of nurses, I arrived in OR, operating room. I couldn’t even believe that I, as a student, was able to be there. Very friendly nurses told me to put scrubs on including shoe-covers, a mask and a cap. I couldn't be relaxed at all! I was so ready to go inside OR! They casually led me to OR and Bang! There was surgery going on right in front of me. There were two surgeons operating surgery, one helper who was standing right next to them and passed all tools surgeons called for, one nurse who was taking care of the machine connected to the patient and her condition, one more observer like me and one nurse who was recording something. It was amazing at it was! I didn’t know how to express. They were casually saying HI to me and explaining what they were operating on. I couldn't understand what they were saying at all in the first place because they were on masks and I was out of mind due to too much excitement! After a while, I caught that they were getting rid of cysts from the ovary. I saw everything including blood, organs, tools, and serious surgeons. I was really appreciated that I had this opportunity. After the surgery ended, I went to another OR to observe and I watched the whole knee transplant. It was crazy. I felt like I was watching TV show, “Grey’s Anatomy.” While I was watching every surgery process, I realized that there was nothing that could make me more excited and happier. A doctor, I really have considered to be one, is an amazing job. I’m looking forward to exploring this world more!
