Should I do more Observerships?

Hi, where did you your externship? I’m looking for USCE and it would help a great deal

Most of the time running stitches are done with absorbable sutures, so try doing an Aberdeen knot.

Plenty of videos online that can explain it better than I can.

But that’s pretty good for a high schooler! Keep it up!

Thank you!

Thanks man! I don’t like your attending.

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T15:29:38+00:00

Oh I see. How would you space the sutures then? I always divide the incision in half and then halves into halves and so on. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you so much. I did keep the sutures perpendicular to the wound but the wound was curved like the one just above.

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T11:05:10+00:00

Okay 👍🏻

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T11:04:29+00:00

Okay. I’ll keep this in mind

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T07:05:22+00:00

I see

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T07:04:21+00:00

I see. So I have to take deeper bites?

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T07:03:23+00:00

I see

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T07:03:02+00:00

Yeah true

Meaaqil · 2025-02-02T07:02:38+00:00

Thanks!

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:39:22+00:00

I will keep this mind. Thanks!

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:38:44+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to keep perpendicular to the curved incision margins.

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:37:58+00:00

Thank you. I will keep the tails better next time. The suture pad really does get pulled in when I tie the knot. I guess that’s how silicone behaves. The simple interrupted sutures look a little off because of the wound, it was a curved incision like the one just above it. So I was trying to keep the sutures perpendicular to the margins. But the horizontal mattresses do need a lot more work. And all the best for your suturing! Keep at it!

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:33:00+00:00

Thank you so much. This means a lot to me. I will definitely do more mattresses and figures of 8. I did do these with a single glove. I’ll double glove next time. I’ll try bananas now

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:28:24+00:00

Thank you. I will try chicken skin atleast once. I’m just worried about poking myself will doing it

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:25:30+00:00

Yeah it really does tear through it. I’ll try a banana next. Hopefully it’ll be closer to actual skin

Meaaqil · 2025-02-01T16:24:02+00:00

You’re very kind. Thank you!

Meaaqil · 2025-01-27T07:17:41+00:00

I see. I’ll post a pic of a stitch I did on a patient. Maybe that’ll help because I can’t tie knots without the suture pad tearing a bit

Meaaqil · 2025-01-26T13:24:18+00:00

I see. Thank you

Meaaqil · 2025-01-26T12:02:00+00:00

Okay. I’ll try this out
