On Thursday (6/2/22), I met with Dr. Thordsen for a short but intriguing visit. I watched two surgeries involving the retina and helping the patients overall vision. One special part of the day was when he let me scrub in and watch his work through an attached microscope. I was right next to him while he reattached the patients retina and cleaned up the eye (lasers involved).
On Wednesday (6/1/22), I shadowed Dr. Bloedon and other surgeons. There were not many surgeries scheduled on that day but I did get to watch tonsils being removed and parts of the nose being repaired to help breathing. Also, I should note that the last surgery was stopped due and rescheduled to another day due to the patients heart beat being irregular (flutters and speeds up and down).
