I'm two weeks into my general surgery rotation now. Its a lot of blood and guts let me tell you folks : not nearly as exciting as Grey's Anatomy. In fact its really just a lot of standing and retracting and looking stupid when the surgeon suddenly asks you a question and you don't have a clue about whats going on.
What's a retractor? Its the thing in the picture. A metal device that pulls the flesh away so a surgeon can see better. And yes, I basically just hold that for hours at a time.
