On our first day as volunteers...

we found ourselves getting dressed in scrubs and assisting with free cataracts surgeries. We helped the patients enter and exit the operating room (which is called the operation theatre or OT for short), as well as with applying eye drops and bandaging the eyes post surgery. I have to admit I started feeling a little unwell during the first surgeries (like I might faint) but after getting some air and reentering the OT, I was fine.
