the week of the 12th
this week i had mini med which is a medical course for ty students to do for a week it is organised by the royal collage of surgeons Ireland. this week consisted of viewing two live surgeries, a Cesarean section and a laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder. we also had many lectures. this week consisted of two days in the rcsi and three days in Beaumont hospital.
watching the operations was amazing as we got to ask the surgeons questions while they operated. the Cesarean was live streamed from the rotunda hospital that surgery only took five minutes from skin to baby. where as the gallbladder removal took two hours.
this week really gave me an insight into medicine and made me more determined to get into medicine then i ever was before.
i wont have a social life in fifth and sixth year especially because there is the hpat for hopefully med students top take as well as the leaving cert as you need 700 points to study medicine
