Blood Galore

Since our hospital slots were jeopardized by the school coordinator, we were advised to accompany some of our CI's to have an Operation Tuli (Circumcision) at Agoo, LaUnion. We all agreed to come because we are all amateurs when it comes to tuli and we may need at least two of it to fill in our blank minor cases. It started at 8:00 am and I assisted at first. Surely I got bored wiping those blood off of their dicks when I urged to tell Dr. CariƱo if we students can perform circumcision ourselves and he said yes. I circumcised 10 boys and only 2 cases was given to me because that's the maximum amount you can get.
After that, our duty CI in Notre Dame told us that we already got a slot. First day was me and rhea. The surgeon was in, the staff was in and they're waiting for an instrument nurse. Since rhea has a less surgical case than me, I agreed to let her do the job. She scrubbed in and there she goes, in the OR theater. The white board indicates that the procedure will be a Rhinoplasty (with a silicone implant), but later on we learned that it was a nose lift. Haha!! Second case comes in and it's a Teeth Restoration with multiple extraction and it will be performed on a 3 year old child. Tsk tsk! Poor boy. Blood blood blood.
The second day, our CI told me to stay inside the OR because there's only two of us who's oriented, and let rhea go into the ER. There was a Liposuction scheduled at exactly 3:00 in the afternoon so I told my groupmates (who's not previously in the OR) to come earlier. Make it 2:30pm I told them. Since there was no time left to orient the 2 and the procedure is to be performed, I scrubbed in and be the instrument nurse again. While I was scrubbing, there was this cute (oh well I can't tell) staff nurse where I brushed elbows with. I put on my gown and voila! I am a ninja in a fish vendor's suit. Haha! The staff nurse entered just after I donned on my gown. All was set except the surgeon wasn't ready yet. Dr. Gene (The Surgeon) taking his time scrubbing, made us all sweaty with the aircon put on just a fan mode. This staff nurse suddenly went behind my back and wiped his forehead on my shoulder and by that, I was shocked! Aaaarrrgggghhhh!! I have to avenge myself but I can't! I want to wipe my forehead on his shoulder too! Haaaaaaayzz... Sadly, Dr. Gene came in and it was time for the operation to get started. He was making jokes like telling us he'd never seen such a big woman and sometimes he calls her BALYENA..lol (Literally the lady didn't fit into the OR table).She needs two OR tables, Dr. Gene joked. At first you can see the fats being sucked like a mayonnaise with tidbits of crackers plus the sound like plok, swooooof, plok plok as you can see the bottle being filled with it. Then there it is, the staff nurse did it again on my shoulder. Dude I envy you! I was yelling in my mind. Then she told one of my group mates to go behind my back and let me wipe my forehead on her shoulder. What the??Is it some kind of a joke??I let him wipe his sweaty big forehead on my shoulder and he will only let me wipe mine on my group mate's shoulder. Gad I hate that guy. Unfortunately, Cherry gave in to his idea. Uggghh!!How I wish I wiped it on his shoulder first.Haha!!Back to the procedure. The endpoint shows that a mixture of blood is being sucked out of that part. The once fat arms became a flabby skin hangin' below his shoulders.
After a grueling 5 hours of incision and suctioning, the procedure came to a stop. The staff nurses joked Dr. Gene that the procedure made them hungry they can eat a two family sized pizzas. That moment, Dr. gene asked one of the OR nurses to call Yellow cab and order two family sized pizzas. Hala!!He made us eat. I ate just one slice. The staff nurse which I am talking about ate 4 slices. Haha! Man, I realized he's gay. My gaydar worked again. lol.

P.S.
***sorry. Got no pics inside the OR. Just avoidin' being scrubbed out. =)
Blood blood blood.

I'd appreciate! I've been planning to get my nose straightened and this blog seems to be very informative for people like me that look out for info on rhinoplasty
