Laparascopic Cholecystectomy, Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG), & MORE...












*VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED*

Laparascopic Cholecystectomy — Removal of gallbladder to treat gallstones or cholecystitis.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) — Insertion of a feeding tube into stomach.

So I was called into the hospital yesterday morning &, surprisingly, it ended up being super busy for a Saturday.

Once again, I was allowed to be in the operating room during the procedure to observe more surgeries which included lap. chole’s, PEGs, & another lap. appy for learning experience.

On top of that, I was taught by the anesthesiologist & surgeon how to perform intubation & aided in putting a patient to sleep before the surgery. They love teaching & training serious students who are studying to be in the medical field, most especially those who want to focus on surgery.

Shit. Honestly, it was a medical geek’s dream. I was so very glad to have observed once again, learned a whole lot more, & was able to participate.

Freakin’ awesome experience.

‘Til next time.

Deuces.
