This time, I watched a surgery about resection colon.
Since the surgery was happening inside the body, a deep part, it was really hard for me to look inside and see what surgeons were doing. I was suffering from my curiousity. Fortunately, one doctor who still remembered talking with me about my background and school for a while last time, two weeks ago, brought a standing chair for me. I felt extremely thankful for him to care about me. Therefore, I could stand there and watch the surgery. It was amazing how long surgeons could stand forever until they thought the surgery was successful. Even though I stood up for 2 hours, I felt so painful and tired that I just wanted to sit down on the chair even though on the floor (especially, since it was during the morning). To be a doctor, I realize that you need to stand up with your legs soreness for as long as the surgery could be. I revered all those doctors and nurses.
So, the patient on the operating table had a big and puffy something on her/his belly. I really wanted to ask what that person was thinking and doing until he/she got that big. The surgery was about getting rid of that and connect two separated colon parts into one connected colon. It was amazing! I could tell it was a severe job to proceed that because there was one time when blood gushed out of the body intensely. It was my first time to see that; however, doctors were behaving casually and coping with that situation.
I and my friend were talking about having a surgery.
If one of my friends or family members is going to have surgery, I will be shocked and surprised because it is not the occasion that happens often like a routine life to me. On the other hand, for doctors who consider surgery a part of their routine life, don't find operating interesting or shocking. I think it is really interesting how one thing can be interpreted into different ways.
