as medical students the day before we need to go and Clark the case which
need to go and Clark the case which
need to go and Clark the case which means talking the patient finding out
means talking the patient finding out
means talking the patient finding out their history and also doing a

needle prick accidents and so we were
needle prick accidents and so we were talking to him and you know I we talked
talking to him and you know I we talked
talking to him and you know I we talked to about maybe three four patients a day
to about maybe three four patients a day
to about maybe three four patients a day and then the clinics we see another 20
and then the clinics we see another 20
and then the clinics we see another 20 30 patients so
30 patients so
30 patients so after that it was it it was no big deal
after that it was it it was no big deal
after that it was it it was no big deal for me
for me
for me this case was very interesting he had a
this case was very interesting he had a
this case was very interesting he had a liver cancer so it was the liver cancer
liver cancer so it was the liver cancer
liver cancer so it was the liver cancer on the right side of his liver and for
on the right side of his liver and for
on the right side of his liver and for the surgery the next day he needed to
the surgery the next day he needed to
the surgery the next day he needed to remove half of his liver so that the
remove half of his liver so that the
remove half of his liver so that the liver cancer wouldn’t recur now sorry I
liver cancer wouldn’t recur now sorry I
liver cancer wouldn’t recur now sorry I would go back it’s not that interesting
would go back it’s not that interesting
would go back it’s not that interesting because liver cancer is very common you
because liver cancer is very common you
because liver cancer is very common you gonna award a lot of patients have liver
gonna award a lot of patients have liver
gonna award a lot of patients have liver cancer and the thing is a lot of medical
cancer and the thing is a lot of medical
cancer and the thing is a lot of medical students are very numb to that by now
students are very numb to that by now
students are very numb to that by now and so the next day I go to the surgery
and so the next day I go to the surgery
and so the next day I go to the surgery and it was a robotic surgery from
and it was a robotic surgery from
and it was a robotic surgery from robotic removal of half of the liver
robotic removal of half of the liver
robotic removal of half of the liver it’s about that size it’s huge and again
it’s about that size it’s huge and again
it’s about that size it’s huge and again I was so entranced by the surgery it was
I was so entranced by the surgery it was
I was so entranced by the surgery it was about a four-hour surgery and I remember
about a four-hour surgery and I remember
about a four-hour surgery and I remember I was there with my little 3d glasses
I was there with my little 3d glasses
I was there with my little 3d glasses and it was it was such a mesmerizing
and it was it was such a mesmerizing
and it was it was such a mesmerizing experience I absolutely loved the
