When I started in surgery- I could NOT suture

I quickly realised this!
I found a boss who seemed to like me, and I eagerly used all my time off to dive into suturing in their cases.
They provided tons of feedback, and I learned so much!
However, this isn't always possible, and looking back, I probably should have done some work in simulation beforehand - but at the time, I didn't even know that was an option. No one had told me that's what people did; I had no guidance before I started, i did not have the handbook of what was expcted or what people did.
So now, we're creating the guidance I wish I had for each stage of my training.
This is the suturing tutorial I would have loved - it covers all the common techniques!
It's filmed live, with no editing, so you can see my mistakes and how I handle them in real time.
If you have suggestions for tutorials you'd find useful, leave a comment!
