On Tuesday (5/24/22), I met with Dr. Dorfman and many of his colleagues and observed first hand many different types of surgeries. I put scrubs on for the first time and saw surgery up close for the first time as well. While observing the surgeons, I saw many tube surgeries on small kids (for ear infections), an ankle fracture surgery, and also a gallbladder removal. The gallbladder removal was my favorite as they have a non-invasive technique to take it out. In short, they fill up the stomach with a gas and then make a few holes in the stomach to carefully burn the gallbladder and separate it from the other internal organs (use screen to navigate through body).
