As a student, you may not get much practice at suturing. Although it’s basically glorified knot-tying, there is also something satisfying about being able to do it well. Or so we would assume, having not reached the dizzying heights of knot-proficiency ourselves.
Like all procedural skills, the only way for it to become instinctive is practice; anyone training up in surgery can be found absent-mindedly tying knots in spare thread around their coffee mugs. Whenever your practice sutures are awful (which, if you are anything like me, is often), don’t be too hard on yourself, because there will be plenty of others who will do that for you. Just remember that the path to attaining any art is the same: practice!
