5-0 Monofilament

Today was my first day of clinic for Fall semester. I just followed my preceptor around. She makes doctoring look easy. But I know better.

It was a memorable day because I did my first ever punch biopsy and then put in 2 sutures to close the wound. On real flesh. Not pig gut like I learned on. My hands were shaking. I was slow and a bit clumsy. I need more practice. And an antispasmodic.

More sutures to come. It is great having you here. Looks can sometimes be deceptive. But experience does make things more comfortable.
