Suture and Autoclaves....

Last night I had class and it was so much fun... I went to class kinda bummed and down and just not wanting to be in class.. Once I got there, I was still rather mad but we got pizza so that made it a little better, Gotta love Costco Pizza and then we did labs all day. We learned how to do sterile fields and what a MA does as far as surgeries go. Thats was fun cause we also got to be the doctor. That also includes the machine that you put all the instuments in after use to make them become sterile, which is called an autoclave.....After we passed that test we got to work on a dummy's arm that was all torn up from a accident.... Ours was from a cougar :). We learned how to do stitches. It was like scrapbooking, addicting!!! After we got the 1 done we watned to do another and another. It was rather fun... I love doing labs because it reminds me that is more than just book work and I really needed a change besides book work.... Anways, I thought I would share my experience with you all and if you ever need stitches I know how, I will be happy to do it for you!!! :).

This picture looks like the dummy's skin that we used and he kit that is used as well.....
