I touched a beating carotid today

WOW!
I love love LOVE surgery!

I can't believe it!! Today I TOUCHED a breathing trachea and a beating carotid!! I could PERFECTLY identify every cartilage ring. The carotid had a strong pulse I could totally feel. Right there. I was touching the adventitia.

Jeez, talk about adrenaline.

I can't believe someone does this everyday. And gets paid.
