Pictures!

Here I am holding my sutured pig foot. Didn't I do a nice job? Ok, don't answer that unless you are going to say something positive. It is harder than it looks! :-)

Here is Erica, one of my first year classmates doing some stretches before the suture fun began. She was right across from me so I got lots of pictures of her.

This is Ezra, another one of my first year classmates. He speaks fluent Japanese and he and his wife have a couple of beautiful young children.


Fellow classmates are suturing.

Another table suturing.




This is my classmate, Erica, and her fiance, Jake, who is a second year medical student. Erica did really small sutures. Maybe she is destined for plastic surgery....



Sort-of unrelated. This is a picture of me with my preceptor for this quarter, Dr. Beard. He is really nice and an amazing family practice physician. I have learned a lot from him this quarter and I hope to work with him in the future.
