This is a picture of many of the people in the suture lab. We had bananas and had people from mentoring and medicine come and teach us. The program had a doctor named Dr. Rajh come in from Montefiore hospital and he always told us to save a life, that was his main objective.
The suture lab included fixing a patient called MR. Banana. It was funny because it was a banana. We used a clamp and a thread that helped keep the banana together. The doctor made everyone get up so we could each learn how to do a suture properly.
After he taught the class, some people did it perfectly. I didn’t do that great. However, although a great experience, I now know that I have no place in the field of being a surgeon. I know that I will not be able to Save A Life.
