Surgical Mission

I went to a surgical mission yesterday to help out with circumcision.

It's fun to help out, and I like going to these things. I'm not a hardcore medical student that spouts nothing but health, service and kindness. I don't know why but I find these kind of people to be... fake? It's the same with religion and the religious people. Perhaps they genuinely are passionate with the medical world while I'm the laid back type.

I don't want to put pictures of the exact scene here since it's not a pretty scene ^^ Surgeries are like that. They look exciting on tv, but in reality it's a bloody mess, and can get quite disturbing.

I remember on my first Surgical Mission as a med student,  some of my friends couldn't really handle the blood and all that's happening. I find them more fascinating than the surgery itself. Surgery is really ugly, and I find it amusing when others couldn't really stomach that.

I do hope it's not the last surgical mission for this year.
