Wow! Ever have those moments, when you step out of the moment and think, "This is my life? This is totally amazing!!! How am I so fortunate, so privelaged to be able to do the things I do?" Well that happened today, day 2 of surgery, day 1 in the OR. I scrubed into a shoulder arthroplasty case, and in the middle just looking at this man, lying unconscious on the table I could not help but realize how privelaged we both were. Him, for being able to have the surgery and find relief for probably chronic shoulder pain, and me, for being able to witness the insides (really just the exposed joint, muscles, and vessels) of another human being. How many people get to do this? and really enjoy it?
Wow, life as a third year sure does have its moments! :)
