The Sterile Eye

I haven’t been blogging much lately, but it’s not a planned break, blogger’s block or anything.

As the summer is drawing nearer I find myself spending the evenings outside with the kids or running in the woods (photo credit), and less time in front of the computer.

There’s a number of surgical videos that are scheduled for to be published in June, and I’ll surely post on that. I also have a few other posts I’m planning to write, and something that demands a post might of course happen, but I reckon I won’t be entirely back on track until the end of the summer.

The Sterile Eye is 6 months old, just learning to sit on its own and getting its first teeth. It’s also delightful to see that it has more than doubled it’s birth weight.

I’ll have the honor of hosting SurgeXperiences again on May 11th. SurgeXperiences is a biweekly blog carnival that rounds up the best of the surgical department of the medical blogosphere.

Hosting after the outstanding job Sid Schwab did, will surely be, as we say in Norway, like jumping after Wirkola, but a little challenge is always nice.

Unlike last time, I thought I’d go for a themed edition this time around. And the theme will be: Tools of the trade. Nuff said. The rest is up to you.

Please submit your posts by May 9th here.
