What I think about when I'm doing surgery

Couple of Monday mornings ago at half past 7 I started a big case on a patient at the front of the mouth and some of the photographs are scattered throughout this blog.

The patient was referred to see me “for bone grafting procedures prior to implant placement” but in long discussion with the patient and interpretation of 3-dimensional imaging, explained that it was possible for me to do things as a simultaneous procedure with all of the advantages and disadvantages that, that brings.

It would have been very easy for me to do a graft, to let the patient heal and to go back again, but there are advantages and disadvantages to that.

The funny thing is though in this case, it was quite zen.

I took photographs of everything I was doing, and the practice was quiet, it was like Becky and I working on a specimen in front of us, because the patient was so good and so chilled out.
