I spent a day in surgery...

On my first day of surgery, everything that could have possibly went wrong, went wrong!

Do tell!

Alright here goes... Ahem!

I was observing an open-heart surgery. The first half hour or so, I felt fine; there was a lot of blood but thankfully I was standing quite far back (at least 4 metres away from the patient) so it didn't look too gruesome. Eventually, I began to lose my sight and hearing to the point that I couldn't see a thing (yet I was still fully conscious). I was very embarrassed so I stood at the back of the theatre pretending that everything is fine. A doctor noticed that I looked somewhat... strange... and soon afterwards I was escorted away from the theatre. It took about another half hour for me to regain my sight. I must've drank at least 15 cups of water to "cool" myself down. So far so good.

Feeling better, I walked back to the theatre by myself. About half way there I felt very queasy and... threw up in a nearby sink .

On the bright side, I did watch a few more surgeries the next day and thankfully felt good throughout them! I even had the guts to observe the surgery whilst standing beside the surgeons!

Wow To be honest I think I'd react the same Are you used to it now?

I had a friend at university who was so weird about blood that he would faint the moment anything like that was discussed. He passed out in the middle of a lecture once Poor guy!

Just for the record, guys, in this country you don't watch "a surgery," you watch "an operation."

This never bothered me until I noticed how much it bothers you. Now it bothers the hell out of me.

Lucky, how did you organise this?
