[Brian in VA]

Fell off a horse when he slipped to his knees and slid through a jump - I saw his knees sliding toward me as I rolled up out of a mud puddle. Thankfully he stopped and I kept going.

A few mo's ago around midnight on a Fri I had to take some guy who's previously untreated liver tumor ruptured and bled to the OR. There was a moment when the assistant was sucking out blood and I'm just compressing the tumor to slow the bleeding that I really thought I wouldn't be able to stop it and he'd bleed out right there with my hands in him. Not fun, but we finally got it controlled. That was a lonely few minutes.
