Shhh....

'Where am I?'
A soft gurgle. Something's moving.
'Who am I?' he yelled back.
No answer.
Some more movements. In & out.
A disgusting soft, shiny, dark thing is wriggling around.Creepy !
'Hey, someone tell me where am I? Where am I moving to?'

Everything's well-illuminated. 5 people around, with their faces covered. Only their eyes,bright eyes are visible.Some more people, also with their faces covered, scattered here &there.

The same voice now shrieked, 'You stupid! You don't know where to put the optical view to? Show me the operative field. Why are you again and again touching the liver, You liver-lover.' :-D


Hey, neither was the man a Blind man, or an Amnesic patient & nor was the place a dark dungeon of kidnapping gang.
It was an Operation Theatre and the man was the Surgeon trying to clip the Cystic Duct in the laparoscopic setting.



Yeah, I got a chance to view one Laparoscopic Chole-cystectomy.
I would describe the technique as tough yet funny.
Tough,coz you need an immensely superb hand-eye-foot coordination. You are working with instruments in both your hands, and operating via the screen and your foot on cautery.
Not only does it require a single person's super-surgeon qualities, but also the assistant's equally important support,who helps you hold the organ, on which you are operating.
One uncoordinated movement, and you might end up creating diseases in the patient.
Yeah, the Iatrogenic work happens here, much more than often.

And funny, yes, it is. As the surgeon catches another thing, the bodily organ slips,as if a proffesional from 'Kachcha Giroh', gliding. He attempts to catch it and while operating, the view suddenly goes away &he doesn't know where he's heading to, a la Blind man. The assistant slips the organ & he tries to find it out, like a Hide & Seek game.
It is actually a game.
A Video Game!


Tele says: Now, I get to understand why do people say,'Dont play too many video games.' You might end up being a Lap. Surgeon. ;-)
