guys what should i be supposed to do in this rotation? there is no surgical time ? or only manage patient icu.....anyone with previeus experience can explain to me?
Trauma is increasingly non- operative but I find it hard to believe there is "no surgical time". Burn patients will need debridement and grafting, others will need bedside procedures like Trachs and PEGs, dressing changes under anesthesia etc and there may be some ex-laps. But yes, this IS mostly critical care management rather than a heavy OR surgical rotation.guys what should i be supposed to do in this rotation? there is no surgical time ? or only manage patient icu.....anyone with previeus experience can explain to me?

It would be good if you wanted to do IM, especially critical care. You'll learn a ton about managing shock, fluid resuscitation, sepsis, ventilator support etc...
