Surgery residency is not only about slogging and sulking, there can be a bit of humor too. Take a look at this
1. Big surgeons make big incisions.
2. It was dry when i closed it.
3. I love to operate, you manage the post op period.
4. If you dont find something you are looking for, find harder, Everything is in books
I never realized it would be so tough. Although i have a few publications I never imagined it would be this tough to write one again. The previous few days I was busy gathering and sorting out all my clinical photographs and found quite a few interesting ones. I decided to write a few case reports, although i finished one in 2 days, but it was hard. Checking and maintainig all the refrences was tough. I hope it gets published though.
1. Never rely on the diagnosis and opinion of your juniors. Seniors are right most of the time in clinical diagnosis.
2. Check the instrument/sponge(atleast) after the floor nurse announces “Counts Complete”
3. While operating listen to the surgeon assisting you. He’s seeing things you cant see.
4. Respect tissue planes, take time off to tie bleeding vessels
5. Most important two words Be patient
