Another day on the way of becoming a surgeon.


Hello my friends,



this is reality,this is me.Some of you have never seen me like this...some of you may.

Today i spend 8 hours in surgery...four surgeries...loads of sweating....standing and with no time to eat in between,but i loved it.


The best part about surgery today was impressing my registrar, as for the first time he did let me suture the hernia (przepuklina) at the end. I suppose he expected me to hold the instruments wrong, my hands to shake or me even not to know how to place the sutures....but ehh,ehh,ehhh not with me...i rocked!

I proceeded with the continues stitches and finished with a sweet Aberdeen knot...like it was something i do every day.This might be a small step for you my friends...but it is a big step for me in my jet so long path of becoming a surgeon ;)

The first picture was taken right after....i believe you can sense the tiredness after all those hours,but also the slight smile of success.The second picture i took to give u a small peep into the scrubbing area.



In surgery you get the chance to forget about your private problems...and to step up to your fears.

"Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're ten-feet tall and bulletproof. And then you leave the OR. And all that perfection, all that beautiful control, just falls to crap." M.G

Will keep you posted,

Love Agnes
