Brain Surgeon: Inside The Dreaming Brain - Dr Rahul Jandial - #988

You just taught me there are left-handed surgical instruments. What's that mean? Um for left-handed s surgeons, the the way some of the graspers click, um, it's released with a maneuver where your thumb pushes something outward. For left-handed surgeons, that can be sort of clunky, so they make instruments where it's outward. For the left-handed surgeon is actually

Yeah, inward towards the midline and for the right handed surgeon it's this way. So there are left and right uh handed instruments for different surgeons, needle drivers really, where you click onto a needle and it clasps so you don't have to keep pressure on it and then you can do your maneuver. Steak knives also have serrations that lean one way or the other. I just learned that. I didn't know about that at all.

I didn't I don't know, I was just looking at it because I've I've got a buddy who's left handed and he's like pointing all this left handed stuff out in the world. Uh don't use that one, it's gonna cut completely incorrectly. What I did learn was Um when you have a stake, I mean, I I have to imagine this is slapbang in the middle of your area of expertise, but you want to never cut with the grain of the meat. You want to be cutting cross grain.
