Nothing too exciting happening...

But I recently got to watch a doctor sew up a patient's abdomen at the bedside. Turns out when you have a ruptured appendix, they leave the incision from the original surgery (to remove said problem-appendix) open for a few days to reduce the number of germs that get stuck inside.

Needless to say (no pun intended) it was pretty cool.

I'm like the little engine that could -- nursing school style.
