Today was eventful. I slept in an extra hour today and photographed something local to me. This morning, I had the chance to photograph a day camp being held weekly at the Geauga Rescue Village. Today, the kids became doctors and checked up on the two dogs, Luna and Zoey. I photographed the vet explaining to the kids different parts of the dogs body and then the kids practicing on the dogs.

One - Incision Surgery
My next assignment was to photograph a surgery at the Lake West Medical Center located in Willoughby, OH. As exciting as a surgery sounds, I was bit nervous about this assignment and eager not to faint while photographing such a surgery. Dr. Daniel Bolson removed a gallbladder from a patient today using laproscopic technology. Laproscopy is a way for doctors to use video streams from a camera to see inside of the person so doctors do not have to cut more incisions or have the risk for complications in the future. Laproscopy heals quicker than the usual open surgery and patients have less pain after surgery. I thought going into the surgery, I would be a tad woozy and probably faint. But alas, I held my ground and actually enjoyed seeing the surgery being performed near the end. Some times were slightly graphic and made me quiver but it was all good. The doctor was really nice and even showed me some cool stuff while inside the body, like the beating heart! I also got to ask any questions I wanted and they were more than happy to deal with me! Definitely respect the work doctors and surgeons perform everyday and it was a great opportunity to photograph a surgery. Hope I get to do more in the future.

The puppy is so lovely. It is good for the kids to have a pet camp like this. They can learn more things about pets.
