As a surgeon, we make time roles..In an operating room, a good surgeon makes time fly..1 hour felt like a minute..
Outside the OR, time take a pleasant role in kicking our ass…

And so it does while Im trying to cope myself over the death of my 2nd surgical "subject(???)"- Mrs McCat 2.

Though I cant give my last pay of respect, since I didnt know where they dumped your body, nevertheless I want to apologize for all the shortcomings, though I assure you I had gave my very best effort in stitching your intestine (note that at the moment, we havent practicall class discussing about intestine stitch, and I’m not very sure now if I did it all by the book  then)

Mrs McCat, aged 10, was announced dead 2 hours after the enterotomy surgery due to complications of Peritoneitis. The surgeon in charge was Dr angelus, while his surgical team consists of 1 other surgeon, 5 assistant, and 1 nurse.

After the laparotomy and viscera reviewing, the enterotomy procedure was done, and after our resident showed us (once) on how to make the intestinal stitch, she put the life of Mrs McCat in my hand, while all the time noting to me that a single mistake in putting up the stitches would result in permeability of the intestine, thus causing peritoneitis…

Operation went successfully, (or so we thought), but due to the lack of post-operative care in promptu, Mrs McCat was announced dead 2 days after the operation.

Uh, Mrs McCat , I had no regret over it, since I knew I had done my very best, but everytime I saw that packet of Whiskers I bought for u (but havent the time to feed it for u) I couldnt feel less guilty about it

and so, I paid my final respect to you by thanking you for allowing me to make a mistake, and learnt from it..

p/s: I’m sorry I dont have the heart to upload the pics of our operation day.
p/p/s: Our resident told us "a dead cat shouldnt be the turning point in your life "
p/p/p/s : Im actually a felixophobic.
