Today, I helped Zack, the research tech run tests, watched the beginning to a rat surgery, and learned (A LOT) about strokes! It was awesome! In the beginning, Dr. Adkins anesthetized the rat by putting it in a little box gas chamber; it was fascinating. The rat slowly fell asleep and became limp just like a human would in a surgery. She then test it to make sure it had enough anesthesia gas in it and adjusted it as necessary. Lastly, she put the rat on the operating table, and started the surgery. I truly enjoyed today because it was so interesting.
