These hands ...


... have stitched up cuts

... have, as Turk says, been so far inside someone's abdomen I couldn't even see them

... have held bowls for patients to be sick in

... have palpated countless chests and abdomens

... have stuck needles into countless arms to take blood

... have been inside people's mouths, noses, ears, vaginas and bottoms
... have been covered in blood, vomit, sweat, poo, urine and amniotic fluid
... have catheterized three bladders

... have delivered two babies
... have held patient's hands
... are, along with my eyes, my most prized posession
