Operation on Dr F

Wow three blogs in less than a week! I don't think that is sustainable (I will try to increase frequency though). Just a quick update on the removal of the skin lesion.

Dr F came straight in, I anaesthetised the area for excision. I "played" with the skin and told her my margins (no marker this time) she agreed and went to see another patient while I scrubbed up and prepared. She came in and sat on the bed, wrist on a pillow and I went ahead. Her skin was a lot thicker than the leg skin on the older gentleman from yesterday. I cut too softly, I was scared of hurting her. EVENTUALLY I got through and stitched it up , very carefully! Quite neat in the end, I was proud. I will find out for sure in about 10 days.
