Since I was so long winded last week I thought I'd give a cleaner more stream-lined account. This week can be broken into three categories. .
Meetings:
- Dr. Cunningham presented his research (had already seen)
- Dr. Maher presented her research (had not seen before)
- Implantable replacements for meniscus, acl, articular caritlage
- Criticized by tissue engineers but I liked it
Surgeries (smelled like burnt hair):
- Cyst removal from L3-L4 disc space
- Short surgery 2-3 hrs
- Hard to see due to small incision and no cameras
- Double surgeon procedure
- Triple A-cage implantation
- Two long surgeries (~6 hrs each) over two days
- Implanted cages through stomach
- Implanted screws and supports through back
- Took a long time to wake up (anesthesiologist gave forehead flicks while saying wake up *NAME REMOVED)
Research:
- Finished image processing portion
- Implemented image processing and other code in matlab
- Looking into other avenues of research to follow
Well that is it for this week. See you on the flip side.
