Both times the surgeon turned to me and joked "See one, do one, teach one - so now its your turn." I asked if i could see them do it on the right ear-eye first before I tried

    I remember the see one, do one, teach one saying from my days in the pathology lab. They took it quite literally and i was teaching people how to use equipment and perform tests after 2 sessions. Nothing like being thrown in at the deep end.
