Cataract

My OR assignment this past week was cataracts. Woohoo! Let me tell you how exciting it gets:

Microscope handles, drape,  straight scissors, eye speculum,  calibri foceps, iris scissors, bipolar cautery, weck spear, blade, slit, keratome blade, silastic gel, BSS, lens loop, irrigation & aspiration, lens forceps, Y rotator, and gentamicin injection. 

Now REPEAT 4o times per day. It is exciting and a blessing to assist Dr. Glenn giving sight to 30-40 Benin people that were once blind to cataracts.   

 It's all about love in the OR with our heart scrub hats- Melanie, Michel, and me.
