Cath lab or endoscopy for observation day?

[caughtbuckinoff]

This semester we get a couple of our clinical days for observation in a few different areas. Along with a day in the OR, we also have the choice between a day in the cath lab or endoscopy. I'm leaning towards cath lab, but I wanted to see if anyone else had the chance to observe in either area and which one they felt they learned the most.

I haven't had the chance to observe yet but I would take cath lab over endo any day! (But that's possibly because I've had 2 colonoscopies and an egd! Lol) I am also amazed by anything cardio so that definitely would have an influence over my decision.

I always say more people have hearts than problem innerds.

Take the cath lab-- you'll see a lot more you can use in more situations.
