It’s pretty dang cool :). Honesty, the stuff you see in movies happens very rarely. Most of the time it’s acute care or long term care without any drama. Good luck !

Allen’s Answer

Before becoming disabled I worked as an intraoperative neuromonitorist (CNIM) where I saved several patients from nerve damage due to misplaced surgical screws. It gave me a huge boost seeing that all the hours I spent training were actually doing something in the real world. The patients never knew what I did but I felt proud to have made a difference for them.
