so ya like a mini MASH 4077 but in a building, honestly it looked like an old campus building, get into a special elevator and go to floor 13, get out, slightly better, still yer thinking... this is a hospital? then u meet the docs and its getting better, its time to observe proceedure, into one more elevator and now yer in a nasa like clean room,
we were a bit misinformed on just how detailed this operation is, i nearly fainted in observation, i can the sight of blood ok but the laser used to get into someone, that smell sets me off, add that to uncomfy shoes, and less than 3 hr sleep jet lag and the overall breathing issues due to slight asthma ive been expericing and its pretty clear i wasnt going to have it easy
tonight ill recover on the sleep, tomorrow ill plan better and bring more bottled water, i think the laser burning flesh thing will still get to me, larger rooms work better
sometimes the obvious answer is in front of ya the whole time but for some reason you factor it in as a no brainer without realizing the true implications it has, yer at the mercy of these people really, doc doesnt want to speak he wont, and we dont know enough about certain aspects of the proceedure to really keep up, we had the jist that it would be basic anal probe stuff, we had seen colonopsicies before, what i saw today was deep dive full blood, six people working on a guy, the surgeons speciality hour tv show, we stragetized that the intensity on some proceedures may be high, may be... MAYBE? heck yes its high, and our interpurter is good, but its hard to grab it all, cause u simply dont have that language, we didnt fully realize that in the preplan plan stages, we chalk it up to a ya, this is good, the field will always school u, and it did, but before we can get into what went wrong where, we start working on plan b, what is the essential truth we are after and refocus for that
things that worked suprisingly well, the mono pod aside from not being easily able to arc over the docs and get to the heart of surgury, worked well, the rock steady zoom on them was blissful to operate, and they were far more mobile than a tripod, sadly we need to get closer, a pinhole cam on a face mask would be great, all wireless even, not gonna happen, a standard tripod just gives us height and we lose mobilitiy but gain steady view provided it doesnt ever get blocked, a crane tripod would be perfect but were talkin about bringing hollywood into the OR, the space factor could kill ya instantly
in some ways i think we need to wheel back what were doing and get back to the core questions, its a 5-6hr proceedure and we are concerned with 40 mins of it, so the level of granularity needs to be adjusted to maximize what we are doing i think, thats a hard sell at the moment but we are at a serious disadvantage here on language alone, factor in the proceedure is new to us, we can only track what is clearly obvious, and even that is subjective to question cause we dont know the language, we will see, its going to be challenging for sure, today was the day of two back to back proccedures, tomorrow its just one, hopefully i will do better
