Now I can check hysterectomy off my list of surgeries to see.
During the hysterectomy, I had the pleasure of meeting the general surgeon, Dr. Serrano, and two medical students from Midwestern Medical School, Ashley and Jessika. While Ashley scrubbed in, Jessika talked me through the surgery, gave me more insight on applying for medical school and told me about her clinical rotations.
I have to admit, I haven't taken much from giving out the questionnaires yet. My experience with Dr. Brotsky continues to go beyond observing or shadowing. Every week I learn more about her job and all that it entails, the surgeries that she performs and the adversity she has faced being a female doctor.
