Theatre 23

 

Okay, so I’m just going to write it down here so I don’t forget:

 

Surgery 1:      Right knee arthroscopy.  Repair right lateral meniscus tear and remove multi-nodular cyst deep to the iliotibial band.

Surgery 2:     Left knee arthroscopy.  Repair left medial meniscus tear and articular cartilage (stage 4 osteoarthritis).

Surgery 3:     Left knee arthroscopy.  Repair left medial meniscus tear (with synovitis).

Surgery 4:     Left anterior-cruciate ligament (ACL)  autograft (arthroscopy).  ACL graft made from patient’s own hamstring tendons.

Surgery 5:     Left shoulder stabilisation (arthroscopy).  Reconstruct superior labrum at glenohumeral joint post dislocation.

 

Surgery is awesome.  Five surgeries in five hours.  Depending on the surgeon next week, we may see some laminectomies – spinal surgery.

Buzzin’ like a motherfucker today.

One Version of Things

I'm a 24 year old gay medical student living on the Gold Coast in Australia. This blog started as a way to blow off steam (ie procrastinate) during the tedious med-entry period, and snowballed into a sort of outlet of self-therapy. It's my way of pulling back to look at the bigger picture. So here it is - the bigger picture. Or one version, anyway. I hope you enjoy it here.
