Despite working more than 100 hours last week, I experienced a good variety of stuff &#8211; a ruptured globe from a BB gun, a trauma patient with orbital compartment syndrome, a ruptured medial rectus, a few retinal detachments, and a patient with both Leber Congenital Amaurosis and Coat&#8217;s disease (two things we usually just read about in textbooks). I also got to repair a few eyelid lacerations and perform a canthotomy\/cantholysis in the ICU at Mass General. I had little idea of what I was doing, but my senior held my hand like a little kid. The nurses were surprised by my enthusiasm, but they also remarked that it was only my first week &#8211; and still had plenty of time to become bitter and disillusioned. After emerging from my vampiric existence on Saturday, we had dinner at a new Chinatown <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/great-taste-bakery-and-restaurant-boston\">joint<\/a> that was disappointingly lacking in wok hay, then pulled out our bamboo mat to watch the opening night of Shakespeare on the Commons.
