Today is Saturday. I've scheduled an easy operation today because I have an appointment for a party with my friends this evening, so the operation never dragged along. The operation was an inguinal, direct hernia repair. However, I couldn't get the patient anesthetized. The 79 year old patient has a history of multiple operations of the spine. His spine was like steel. It's the first time for me to fail the spinal tap in 20 years. I'm so sorry. Actually his spine was partially braced by the steel. I'm going to give him surgery next week under general anesthesia.
