Performing Surgery for the 1st time

It was like driving the car for the first time.

I was excited,petrified an scared shitless.

When i gave an incision. it felt like all the cars are coming my way and sooner or later i am going to crash.

Everything became magnified like if i was myself standing inside the abdomen.

My hands were shaking and sweating severely. Though it was winters,outside it was freeezing but i was sweating profusely.

I forgot everyhting. My bills to pay, my wife was pregnant with my first child and had to deliver that week, totally forgot i had a fight with my mother and my damaged car in the workshop . I forgot everything

And what was the surgery. Appendectomy

A playground for the new surgeons.

In next 2 years i did 70 Appendectomies. I dont remember any of them except 1 or 2 but this 1st one will stick with me for all my life.
