My First Tour of the Operating Room!
August 23, 2009 by Crista Lacqua
Just recently, last Friday, I got a special tour with my friend Alison of the operating room at Richmond University Medical Center, my local hospital. The only time I saw the operating room was when I had eye surgery at three-years-old, and of course when I watch my favorite show, Grey’s Anatomy.
I am currently volunteering at the hospital, and when my dad told me about 
stopping in the OR for a tour, I immediately jumped at the idea! I even got to get a glimpse of my dad and uncle Michael performing surgery. My friend and I got to wear our very own scrubs, and we had a blast walking around and learning how it all works. I have a big interest in the medical field, so I would definitely do this again!
