I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but heck, I'll give it a shot
I'm volunteering at this charity clinic, and one of the things that I can't do while I'm there, I'm M2 by the way, is suturing, though the doc tells me that it's not too early for me to learn it and will be heck of a use when I do my electives in Africa because I'll be suturing my arse off almost every day if I were to do an elective there. And he's too busy to teach me and I can't just stand there and watch how he does it because I'm helping out with the other patients
I would like to know, what are the main knots, and suturing techniques that I should know, and are there any websites that I can learn from. I see this 'suturing video' ad on SDN but heck, I'm not going to pay $100 to buy that, and I think that would be for more complex knots and stitches as well as for those who are interested in surgery
Another problem I have is fine tremors in my hand..not sure why, anyone else has this prob? Seems that for the time being, while doing a vene puncture or something, the needle can be seen trembling(something which the doc observed)
Any suggestions to solve this?
