Joel put this on the Robertson MyFamily site and I thought I would copy it on here since he doesn't ever write anything for the blog.

I have been completely loving my time on the surgery floor of the hospital. I have gotten to see a lot of new and exciting things. I had a patient last week that fell 92 feet from an oil rig and only ended up having a broken leg.... his tibia was completely shattered, fibula was broken in 4 pieces and his ankle/foot broken in 5 places. He also had to have a double fasciotomy to relieve pressure from the swelling which was super cool to see. His leg had to be as big around as a basketball. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester and what new things I can learn. I will be in the ICU after spring break until graduation.
