Laparoscopic surgery

strengths and weaknesses. During the preclinical years I found myself enjoying the study of physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry–the topics that are the bread and butter of anesthesiology. The clinical clerkships–especially the internal medicine and surgery clerkships– helped solidify the type of medicine I wanted to practice: to be able to develop meaningful relationships with patients, to be able to individualize my care for a particular patient, to be able to have a hands-on approach to…

feel the patient’s blood pressure bounding against the vessels that have delivered oxygen and nutrients to his vital organs for 19 short years. My hands reach for the tubes that the surgeon will use to canalize the aorta. Foresight is important in surgery, so I am prepared for the next step with him. The surgeon finds the correct landmarks to clamp the aorta and the cross clamping time is called out to everyone in the operating room. The surgeon’s words hang in the air as there is one less…

to get along with and talk to. On the other hand, I do not imagine myself as a plastic surgeon because even though they make a ton of money, I do not think that I could perform a tummy tuck or a butt lift without being nauseous. Not only do the surgeries make me nauseous, but to become a dentist it requires less schooling and training than a surgeon. Correspondingly, becoming a dentist at Wake Forest is most likely better than becoming a dentist at Villanova because of the fact that North…

Somethings are a blessing in disguise, and it took me awhile to realize that my six year old brother needing emergency surgery on his appendix brought my family closer together. I remember coming home from school on a wednesday night mad at my mom for not letting me go and get chinese with my friends after school. She told me that I needed to come home right after school. I had seriously considered going anyways. My mom has a part time job so I knew she would be home around four, leaving me…

It was at a small clinic that didn’t see many animals, but this is where I saw my first surgery, a routine neuter. What I remember most is the excitement I felt and when the doctor had finished he told me the surgery was so simple a monkey could do it. All I wanted was to be that monkey. Not long after, I began volunteering at a small zoo. This allowed me to get close to exotics and to care for them…

After the surgery, a referral has been made to the stoma care nurse specialist. A referral system for members of the multidisciplinary team in the neonatal unit facilitates early contact with the clinical nurse specialist (Porter, 2014). It allows them to provide the family with education, support and an ongoing plan of care. Various changes and developments involving stoma care in nursing have occurred in the United Kingdom through the years. Black (2016) highlighted that stoma care on its own…
