Thoracotomy

Well, this is what i've been waiting for. My first true "ER" experience and wow did it live up to my expectations. Multiple gunshot wounds, massive blood loss, chest cracking, cross clamping, suturing the heart. It was amazing how fast the doctors opened the guy up, closed up the wounds and stabilized the patient so that he could make it up to surgery. If that's not inspiring, I am clearly working towards the wrong profession.
All I could think about was how I wanted to be there, saving that guys life. I am dead serious. I need to work. I neeed to study. I have to focus. This is my goal and I'm gunning for it.
