Surgery Notes

Quick jot down before studying:

- Got to scrub into a vascular surgery today (pop to LE fistula). Super intricate, (6-0 vycril!) And the attending was pretty darn amazing. I would want to be like him however many years from now. Slight sarcastic, but jokey, good humor, not mean, enjoys what he does, confident in his ability, willing to help out other attendings and medical students.

- when talking about applying, be absolutely certain. There's a 40% drop out rate in surgery, even with 80h limits. You will be "molded" .

- the worst decision is no decision. people die from indecision (i whole-heartedly agree).

- good clinical judgment is the most important thing. even for surgeons

- Know how you function under pressure.
