Awesome afternoon in the ER!

I spent my first afternoon in the ER of our local hospital, and I had an awesome experience. I was made to feel very welcome, and all of the physicians and nurses were very willing to answer my many questions.

For a small town ER, it was a very busy afternoon, and a surprising number of the cases were very interesting. To end the evening, I ended up getting to observe the orthopedic surgeon set and plate a bad break of the ulna and radius. I was fortunate to follow this case from start to finish.

I'm really looking forward to going back in tomorrow.

I'm glad your shadowing experience went so well! I had mainly positive experiences and it really helped me choose a future specialty. Have fun with it!!
