Yesterday was interesting. We began with an intro to neuroradiology from Dr. McCord, which was awesome as usual. We learned about MRIs and CT scans, how to read them and differentiate between different types, as well as the effects of radiation. This was followed by two lectures from a psychiatrist, covering acute and chronic alcohol toxicity. These were interesting and fun as the lecturer was very energetic and enthusiastic.
In the afternoon, we had a surgical skills seminar. We began by learning sterile technique, including how to scrub & dry your hands/arms, enter the operating room, get gloves on, and work around sterile areas. This was followed by a session on how to make different kinds of sutures. We had a competition to see who made the neatest/strongest sutures, and my stitches won the best in the session. Whoop!
All of today was spent studying nonstop for the impeding firestorm on Monday. This is going to be rough.
