I inherited a board with about 10 cases. Mish-mash of ortho, neuro spine, pedi crani, plastics flaps that I finished off with the help of residents :) . During the last six hours or so, it's four in the morning now, we did: 41 yo woman MVA 6d ago, ORIF tib-fib with rectus flap 57yo man ORIF humerus industrial accident 12yo boy debridement of burned feet/lower legs 15yo boy motorbike v. tree, ORIF tibia 40yo man motorcycle v. car ORIF humerus 60yo man fell off barstool, internal bleed. surgeon said it was the worst liver he's seen in 30+ years, when they opened him up 4L + poured out, we got him back to the ICU to die there GSW to chest, cracked chest in ED, dead GSW to arm - not coming to OR till tomorrow GSW to head - just grazed him, he'll be okay and probably a few other things. I guess trauma season is upon us! The_Sensei 05-10-2006, 12:17 PM Bump Noyac 05-10-2006, 03:16 PM I came in at 3pm today (well, yesterday). I inherited a board with about 10 cases.
