A day at CEKU

Today I had class in a place called CEKU, which is a center used to train Danish medical students. We were shown how to and got to practice (on dummies) different medical techniques.

IV access

Bronchoscopy (sending a camera into the lung's airways. Also using attached tongs to remove an item blocking the airway)

Suturing

Laparascopy (doing abdominal surgery using small incisions, a camera probe, and tony tools in the incision) We practiced this with the same small tools they use in surgery to do activities while looking through a camera. The activities were things like cutting cotton off from around a balloon without damaging the balloon to simulate cutting tissue away from a nerve or vessel.

I don't have any pictures, but we also did ultrasounds.

It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of valuable information and basic medical skills! I am definitely on the right career path.
