Best Surgery Lab Ever
We had about the neatest surgery lab today. I got to do all the procedures I hoped to do.
The list:
Distal check ligament desmotomy
Lateral digital extensor tenotomy
Medial patellar desmotomy
Lateral partial splint bone removal
Medial palmar digital neurectomy
Eye enucleation
CSF tap
A bunch of jargon, I know, but it was really neat. Dr. Hilbert, the Australian fellow from the nighttime colic surgery, came in to help Dr. Huber (who met Hilbert when he worked in Australia for five years). Hilbert is enthusiastic (he even walked SS through a laryngeal tie-back surgery on our pony!) and a great teacher. It was fun to hear Drs. H&H giving each other a bad time -- and on occasion Dr. Huber would launch into some ballad when someone got CSF flow or some such. It was grand.
