Day 7

So today I spent 6 hours in the hospital in an effort to start making up the time I missed the past two weeks. It was a pretty slow six hours. I followed around a med student for a little while, and I learned how to put stitches on a patient. A stab wound patient was in the ER for a little bit of the time that I was there. He had some stabs on his face so he needed stitches. This guy was so lucky, his major blood vessels were just barely missed by the knife and he had no puncture that went all the way to the skull, though it was still pretty deep.
