Day One is Done!

Having to get up at 6am was quite the change after getting to sleep in for almost a week. I had bought some scrubs to wear as I shadowed at the Cary Skin Center, and let me tell you, they’re quite comfortable!! I made sure to bring my hydroflask to stay hydrated throughout the day, but it was definitely difficult because of the fast paced environment. I was brought to the lab and was taken through the process of preparing, slicing, and staining the slides for the doctors. It was quite an interesting process and it was crazy how thin they could slice an already thin layer of skin. Dr. Flynn used a different technique from the other doctors to remove layers. He uses a thin double edged razor which creates thin layers. I saw a lot of basic reconstructions on the face.  My feet sure did hurt by the end of the day, but I absolutely loved it!
