Let's Play Doctor!


This past Saturday I participated in a Spay/Neuter clinic at MSU. We did about 80 animals in total. It was a long day which started at 6:30am and ended about 4pm. I was on my feet pretty much the whole time, but I did gain a ton of experience. I was amazed at the ability of the 4th year students. They were already handling abdominal surgery like pros. They say I will be that way as well, but I am really doubting that in my current state. My role during the surgeries was to be the anesthetist. Basically I monitored heart rate/sound, respirations, and anesthesia concentration. It was a great day of learning, but I was glad to get a sit down later on!
