Picture Perfect

For my senior project lately I have needed some pictures. Luckily, I was able to actually get some from when I was in the OR. My dad had taken some pictures with his cell phone, while I was in the OR, and now I put them on my computer. I had thought earlier that these pictures had not come out right, but to my surprise they were fine. I also will get more pictures too, because on Monday I will be going in the OR again to see new equipment being use, and I will bring a camera this time as well.

Work never ends, not even during a break.

Before Christmas break I had talked to my mentor Mr. Odell, and he said that a great time to shadow would be over the christmas break. He also said I could even shadow him in the operating room at Mary Black. On the first monday of break I went into the OR at 8am and I saw two spine surgeries, where both patients had a herniated disk in there spine and needed it repaired. It was very interesting, especially considering that my mentor let me watch the surgery very closely. I went into the OR again the following week and shadowed my mentor several other times during break as well. I even went to Spartanburg Regional and did the HIPPA class so I could shadow Mr. Odell at Spartanburg Regional too. All in all it was very interesting and a great experience to shadow over the break even if I did have to wake up about 7 in the morning each time I shadowed. I am looking foreword to shadowing again soon, which will be in the next week or two and I am really progressing on my project since shadowing over Christmas break.
