Friday at last

Eight cases at the SurgiCenter and I am done by 6pm, not bad at all! My first guy was a nice young, i think about 20 years old, kid. He had fallen on his shoulder while playing basketball. It took two sport medicine orthopads, three hours of anesthesia and a solid shoulder nerve block to fix him. It will probably take another 4-6 months until he is back to his regular activities. A lot of work on his part, but we did ours today - he is fixed and comfortable. The rest of the patients were routine knee scopes - nothing exciting. And I am glad, this week was full of excitement, enough is enough, Miller Time! I still have to see pain patients tomorrow, but no OR duties till next week. www.surgerytomorrow.com.
