Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 All I can say is...thank God in Heaven we're knocked out for surgery. I couldn't have watched this pre-op, even though my procedure was nothing like it. What a brave girl, and what great results she got. I could never work in an OR. > http://www.miragecenter.com/orthog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I was one of the ones who wanted to have a video and now that i have seen only the first 45 seconds of her actual surgery, i could not handle it and stopped the viewing. i never thought i would do that, but now that i think about it, i did opt not to go to nursing school after seeing what my sister had to go through in training. I agree, thank GOD we are knocked out. Who would want to do this for a living? > > http://www.miragecenter.com/orthog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 , in re: Who would want to do this for a living? I once asked that to an endodontist who does nothing but root canals all day long, day after day. I could not imagine anybody wanting to look at abscessed, necrotic, painful teeth all day long. He was doing two crowned teeth, one of them dead already, for me. I think he gave me a most excellent answer. He said, " Most of my patients who come in are in great pain. I see them, do some work, and by the time they leave, they feel better. " I can't think of a better reason, except that the patients' general health usually improves, too. But I think for these surgeons, it takes some more time for their patients to reach the goal.
