The thing about being an anesthesiologist is that I watch surgeons suturing and closing incisions every single day. Yet when I have to put a stitch into an arterial or central line, I am embarrassingly slow. This is how I knew I belonged on this side of the drapes. But I ought to remember this next time I watch new residents placing stitches, and maybe I should take some suture home to practice.
