The operating room...

I finally had my first case. The highly anticipated first case as a doctor, as a surgeon! And it was shockingly anticlimatic. By the end of the day it was really just a blip in a day of all the regular grind of answering pages, putting in orders, checking labs and vitals, same day to day. But at the same time something feels a little different, like there's a little bit of surgeon swagger in my walk. I must say though that I thought it would feel different. Maybe I have to slow down first before I realize how I actually feel.
