Surgery

I wasnt sure what to expect as a part of the surgery group at the hospital. But Sarah and I were given the opportunity to sit in on a bypass/ heart valve replacement. Because the surgeon in charge was working on another patient for most of the time, we didn't get to see a whole lot, but it was really cool to get to watch the other surgeons prepare our patient for these surgeries. I was just amazed at how un-gentle they were when taking out the old valves.

I dont know if I could do this for a living, but I had no problems being right there in the action today, so that's a good sign.

Right now we're all working on our arrangements for the Amsterdam trip. Hopefully everything works out.
