Spending the Day as a Surgeon
I recently spent the day with a wonderful surgeon to
see what his day is like on regular basis. What I found was something
very different than I bargained for.
Being a General Surgeon takes a lot of compassion
and understanding towards the patients being operated on.
General Surgery
A surgeon is required to care even if they don't at the moment.
I saw and heard things that dumbfounded me. We started with a minor
surgery and moved to two major surgeries. The sight of slicing human
flesh amazes me. That we are so advanced to fix people with what
seems so barbaric on the outside looking in. The ability to open
and close a human is something that I want to stick my hands in (no pun
intended), to discover hands on. I definitely plan to in the future.
I totally encourage anyone unsure about what they
want to become to spend a day with someone, see what it's like; it could
change your mind and your life.
