Lisette's Eschatology : The Doctoring of the Last Days

I am finally managing to do something I have been wanting to do for a long time--go into the operating room. Not as the patient or the doctor, but just an observer.

Tomorrow morning, 9ish, they tell me. I opted out of the amputation they had scheduled and am going in instead for a bowel case. My surgeon resident friend assures me it will be an interesting case, so I am looking forward to it. And not just because I get to walk around in my pajamas (which happen to be old scrubs) and  finally wear my official Tenwek name tag. I have been teaching a very interesting course on biology to my 7th graders and have been fascinated by the human body.

I am hoping I manage to recognize a few things in there. We'll see. I promise to just tell you about it--I am not going to pull a missionary doctor stunt and take a bunch of pictures to post. :)

Happy Memorial Day!
