Case number 100 - Only 47 days into deployment
To put this in perspective a little bit:
- This is an average of 2.12 cases a day.
- This would be 382 cases in a standard 180 day deployment.
- Combined this would be 764 cases in a year.
- In residency I averaged about 450 per year - and that was when I was 'trying' to operate as much as possible.
- In Naples I did 252 cases - in two years.
- In Philadelphia during fellowship I did 680 cases - and was so tired my hands ached at the end of the day.
It's difficult, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I wish I could say that it was slowing down, but I'm now on day 65 and still on the same pace.
