Surgery Day 1

Today was our first day of surgeries. All of us were up and running by 8 am and ready to begin our week.  As we arrived patients were already waiting for us outside.  The team was ready to get to work as well as Dr. Jed Horowitz and  Dr. Susan Downey the surgeons.

Below are some pictures of  Dr. Downey performing a skin graft of an eleven year old boy named Miguel, who had a burn scar on the left arm.
