I gotta ask, though...

Why do you have surgery pics in your car?!?!?!?!

lol I'm in med school, and I spent my whole undergrad working as "surgical assistant" for an orthopedic surgeon I know really well. I'd assist in surgery, holding instruments, holding retractors, just helping things run smoothly.

That picture is from Nicaragua. The surgeon leads these "mission" trips (it's not associated with any church, it's just a small team of 4 of us) to Nicaragua several times a year to do hip and knee joint replacement surgery. We do about 30 joint replacements in a week down there. It's crazy. A hip or knee joint cost, just for the part itself, between $2,000 and $5,000. A Nicaraguan's average salary is like $3,000, so they could never afford it. But he gets money donated from all the big medical companies so that he can buy prostheses and go down there and do the surgeries.

(I met my fiance there!)
