So, You Want to Be a Surgeon!

This is published at the FACS website. I found it to be somewhat humorous:

Consider your surgical clerkship. Did you:

  • Find that long hours on surgery passed more quickly than short hours on some other clerkships?
  • Appreciate the operating room teamwork during a difficult operation, when the nursing, anesthesia, and surgical staff all pulled together?
  • Enjoy watching your patients improve daily after major injuries or surgical procedures?
  • Feel intrigued by the challenge of managing multiple physiological and psychological problems in your critically ill surgical patients?
  • Notice the excitement of your surgical team anticipating a “great case”?

If the answer to some of these questions is “Yes!”, a surgical career is probably right for you.

Umm…

No.
No.
No.
No.
No.

Damn, no surgery for me.

    Yeah, but I thought they all had hard-ons for each other, not for the liver lac.
