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.

      You can clear a HepB infection and many do with appropriate treatment. If you do clear then it shouldn’t be an issue.

    At this time it sounds like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
