Knots!

I started the Emergency Medicine module today with Surgery following in 2 weeks. This week we start to work on knots and suturing. Unfortunately, my handy trucker's hitch, good for so many things in the backcountry, will not be used. How about the ever trustworthy (read: trust your life to when hanging off the side of a mountain) clove hitch? Nope. Figure eight? Don't be silly. But after today I can slowly tie both the one handed and two handed square knots...

No I'm not trying to channel Obi-Wan, I just have a cold.


More to come in the days ahead.
