Our first day at CICM

Monday, first day at CICM hospital

I was up bright and early after what I thought was a good night's sleep.
We had breakfast and a devotion led by Dr. Craig Hobar, the founder of LEAP. We arrived at the hospital after a bumpy ten-minute drive. I was set up and had my first patient in the room by 7:50, but the induction was a little rocky ( laryngospasm, had to give succinylcholine choline) and we didn't get started until 8:30. I worked with Dr. Hobar, Heather Martin (a surgical tech who I met last year), and Lee, an excellent circulating nurse from Dallas. It was a long day but everything went smoothly. I got back to the orphanage about 10:30.
