New Facilities

Yesterday I got to monitor anesthesia for a dog spay in the new small animal hospital. It was a good introduction to the fancy anesthesia machine with oodles of monitoring devices, and a good intro to the surgical prep room and surgical suite. Dr. Baltzer will now expect great things of me come clinical rotations next year. It'll be my first day on the anesthesia rotation, and they'll say, "Here's the dog Claire. I'll be back in half an hour and expect to see him premeded, induced, intubated and ready to the leave induction." Well, probably not, but we'll see.

Finals start on Monday, so this blog will be a semi-dead place until next Friday.
