theatre time....

so today I scrubbed in on a procedure, quite a minor one, but nonetheless supercool. cute little 2 year old boy must have been mischievous, coz he fell face first into the ground and suffered a lacerated tongue. the laceration must have been around 3.5 cm long, jagged edged and quite gory I must say. quite lucky I have a friend who is a Max-Facs surgeon in training, and he allowed me to put in half the stitches to put the little rasclas tongue back together. its really amazing how some simple suturing in some ways is "reconstructive", especially in this little boy, his tongue. Tongue = Speech + Taste + Appearance.

and my multi-purpose reflex hammer arrived today, so its been a good day.
