Assisting in Surgery

That night, we were eating dinner at the Foster's, and Dr. Steve got called into the hospital for emergency surgery. A two day old baby who had been born without an anus was brought into the emergency room. The poor thing had an accute abdomen and was in need of relief.

 

Myself and the students, all followed Dr. Foster to the hospital for the surgery. Here two of the students assist Dr. Foster as he performs a colostomy on the infant.
