It's my first week on placement on the Endoscopy Unit and so far, things are going well. The staff are very friendly which makes all the difference.
Yesterday I observed an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Actually, that's rather an understatement - I observed five in a row and assisted where I could. It's a lengthy procedure made all the more uncomfortable by the lead aprons we had to wear. So as you can imagine, we were somewhat irritated when the Consultant popped out and returned for the last patient, late, and with a coffee in hand. We were all gasping for a drink at this point, so imagine our joy when the Consultant accidentally knocked his coffee over right in the path of his laptop!
Ok, so that's a little mean but hey - it made the patient smile.
