Today I was blessed enough to observe a bilateral total mastectomy with free nipple this procedure is typical done to remove cancer. This also involves removing all or nearly all of the breast tissue and several nearby lymph nodes. However, it is now used to help with transgender individuals (commonly female to male). They take out the adipose tissue and most of the fat then sew the under the breasts. It’s called a free nipple because the surgeon removes the nipple from the breast then reattaches it after the fatty tissues have been fully removed. It’s quite an art to see.

In 1901, a doctor was told mid-surgery that he was needed urgently elsewhere, to which he responded that he could not leave “even for the President of the United States”. He was then told he needed to operate on William McKinley, the President of the United States. The doctor maintained his claim and actually didn’t leave.

On March 14, 2019 I got to witness my first ever heart transplant surgery and although this is a Coronary Bypass Surgery on pump, it is very much similar to an open chest heart transplant. This made me want to go into CT Surgery. Only 4% of physicians are African American, and that shrinks to only 2% when it comes to African American women. Another minority among physicians—women surgeons— I intend on being the female Burke in a world of traditionally white, male-dominated field.
