On Monday, I shadowed Dr. Fenster during hysteroscopic procedures for the removal of fibroids similar to last week. Following, we had a meeting where we presented our findings from literature review. We were particularly interested in procedural protocols and specific techniques, so we focus our next presentation on these aspects throughout the week. On Tuesday, I accompanied Dr. Fenster in primary care, where she follows up with patients post-surgery in addition to performing smaller scale procedures. I observed a more point-of-care approach to remove fibroids and polyps, which offered an interesting comparison to the experience in the OR. Moreover, observing patient consultations provided valuable insight into the broader scope of outpatient OBGYN care. Lastly, on Friday, I had the opportunity to observe Dr. Fenster perform two hysterectomies. The procedure was more time-intensive than fibroid removals, and since this was my first time witnessing this surgery, I was particularly fascinated by how the uterus was accessed through a single incision at the umbilicus. I was even asked to assist Dr. Fenster for a small portion of the procedure, so I also learned how to properly scrub in and participate in the surgical environment.
