    Maybe cataracts from across the room.
    We have an eye surgeon that loves to teach. He will personally hook the microscope cable to the TV tower, so a student can watch what he's doing on a TV. He does this for blephs, cataracts, corneal transplants, etc.

    In HS, I wanted to be an ortho surgeon, so they let me be elbow to elbow with the dr during an ACL surgery. It was so cool!

    I just got to see a prolapsed uterus repair and an open chole. The chole was awesome & the CRNA let me stand back with her at the pt's head. It was amazing! The docs were great & the CRNA explained a lot of what she was doing to keep the pt under. I loved it & I think that's where I want to be eventually!
