I had the opportunity to go to theatres and watch a full hip replacement. I enjoyed watching the surgery and learnt the process of anaesthetic and how they do the surgery. I watched the epidural being performed on the patient and learnt which region it goes in and what it does for example, it numbs the patient from the waist down. I understand the importance of sterilization to reduce the risk of an infection and I was lastly able to observe the technique of how to close the wound using surgical sutures.
