I used to be an operating room nurse. I used to work from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm.
In hospital, I used to be a scrub nurse or circulating nurse.
When I am a scrub nurse, I used to check a patient's history, prepare a operation tools and help a surgeon.
And when I am a circulating nurse, I used to help an anesthesiologist, scrub nurse and the whole thing of the operation.
The role changed by turns.
The hospital has a department of general surgery, gynecology, neurology, orthopedics, thyroid. The hospital specialized
in colonoscopy. There are many hemorroid patients.
It was difficult that there was a lot of scheduled surgery. It was very tiring. And I didn't use to enjoy my job, because I
didn't use to have much humanity. I learned love after I became a mother.
I think the most difficult medical job is a surgeon. They need high degree of brains and techniques. They really don't get
enough sleep.
I think the best medical job is a plastic surgeon, family doctor and pharmacist. I think they earn much money compared
to their efforts and sit down at work.
