Suturing humans is MUCH MUCH different from suturing pigs’ feet and rubber prosthetic arms (which is what we practice on in session).
Suturing a finger? Is probably the most difficult area to suture.
Which was why today was my lucky day.
My mentor said I “did great.” My patient seemed satisfied with my work. We refrained from telling him that he was my “first.”
I think I threw up afterwards. (from nerves, not all the blood)
Which means that suturing is totally going to be favorite thing to do when it comes to practicing medicine.
