The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a "surgeon"? As my year as chief
resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question
1 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was
2 .When you can say to yourself, "There is no surgical patient I cannot
treat competently, treat just
3 or better than any other surgeon"- then, and not until then, you are
4 a
surgeon. I was
5 that point.
6 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the
year I had
7 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be
8 .Often, after
I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular
9 , I'd have trouble getting back to sleep. I'd
10 all
the facts of the case and, often, wonder
11 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three
in the
12 , after lying awake for an hour, I'd get out of
13 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the
patient myself. It was the only
14 I could find the
15 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency,
16 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn't be
sure of my decision, but I had learned to
17 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with
my knowledge and experience, any decision I'd made was bound to be a
18 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is -
19 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to
encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the
20 and uncertainties that are part of the
practice of medicine. He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the
world. Call it conceit -call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
