…running subq, and an occasional vertical mattress. While hand trying learn how to hold the suture still with one hand as you push your knot down so you don’t pull your knot off it’s target. With running sutures I prefer to use an ▶ Aberdeen knot, it is quick and conserves suture.

As I finished and tied my ▶ aberdeen knot the anesthesiologist said "oh, that's how you do that! When the surgeons do it it's too fast for me to tell what they're doing." I felt like the slowest of snails.
