have been doing a LOT of plastics lately. i think i tallied up all the hours i spent sewing last week and it was something like 15. that's a lot of work for the same pair of hands. i don't have a back up set or anything. of course the surgeons do a whole lot more, but as they are more skilled and efficient than yours truly, they cover a lot more ground.
i enjoy plastics immensely. generally speaking you're making someone more content with their image and you're not operating on critically ill people. (the main exception to this is burn victims, which i *thankfully* don't see much of). you're also doing a lot of breast reconstruction post cancer, so it feels valuable to help give back some of the identity and dignity lost.
plus...it's fun! the outcome looks great most of the time! they went from floppy to fabulous! that's very satisfying. and the bigger the better. it's like mowing the lawn when the grass is knee-high. just look how much better it looks!
