I finished my first rotation! Surgery and anesthesia was definitely a great way to start off third year and I feel much more confident moving forwards. It was nice to get a review on how to monitor for ansthesia and the drug lectures were really helpful. I got to do a lot of different kinds of surgeries and ultimately help my patients get adopted, so that felt great. It was nice to see how far I'd come in just two weeks. My first surgery was a scrotal ablation and, while I knew how to do it, I paused between every step to check in with the surgeon and make sure I was doing okay. My last surgery was an ovariectomy and I just kept going, even with her peeking over my shoulder.

Next, I have my clinical pathology rotation which is supposed to be another really great rotation. I'm a little worried to be sitting down and looking at histopath and cytology slides all day long because it's not my forte but I'm sure it'll be extremely helpful in the long run.
