    I work alongside a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon who operated on me twice when I was a teenager and a young adult. I never thought in my life that I would have the honor to work alongside him. The crazy thing is that he still remembered me after 12 years since my last surgery. I even asked him if he would operate on me again because I know I am due for another heart surgery within the next 3-5 years. He said he'll be more than happy to do it again, but it all depends on the hospital because my case is very different. Different in a unique way because I'm 30 years old, but I am still being followed by pediatric cardiology. So he doesn't know if the hospital would let him take my case because of me being an adult. You can say my coworker touched my heart not once, but twice.

      @@hovi8050 Neurosurgeon here,
      Well, sorry to undermine the whole thing, but (well, I have to say that's my take, might not be relatable to everyone) it's not that great of a deal.
      You see, to do every thing in medicine you ideally must first study that theory, then watch someone do it, to then do it yourself, so by the time you actually start to be the lead surgeon in cases(usually by the end of your residency), you've already spent countless hours reading and watching what to do over and over again, was I nervous the first time I did my first surgery by myself? Sure, but with time you build the confidence and control to be calm while handling brains
      I guess I probably have the bias here of being Brazilian, and by bias I mean we don't really have the same protocols and control, so during college I was already doing a big part of appendectomies and smaller surgeries, so even when I got into residency, I already had my share of opening, digging around and closing people up

    the delicacy that is required to be a surgeon is astounding. My grandpa was a general surgeon back in the day before there were basically no specialties (he did trauma, cardio, plastics, a little bit of neuro) and while he had big hands, sorta manly and meaty hands, he had such an incredibly delicate and steady touch, it was crazy even after his dementia set in. Passed away coming up 3 years. Miss him everyday.

      Damn bro, that reminds a lot of my grandpa who was also a general surgeon, he was from Iraq (as am I) so during the Iraq-Iran war he spent a lot of time near the frontlines treating trauma patients, he was eventually mistreated by Saddam’s dictatorship and took an early retirement as he was also developing Parkinson’s disease and got strong tremors and some mild form of dementia, he was such a tough, strategic man, even had a good business sense as he was born into a poor family but then saved up to buy a house in a random area on the feeling that it will become a popular trade center which was absolutely right and now its a huge source of income for my entire family, he passed from Covid in December of 2020. I regret not being that close to him and hearing his stories, he enjoyed (like most old people) chatting about the past but I never really was that expressive around him and that was wrong of me, I miss him, but can only wish of dying with as great of achievements as that man.

      medicine at that time didnt come even close to the amount of scientific knowledge we have at medical science nowadays. Its literally impossible for a doctor to manage all those specialties today due to the amount of practice it would require. Also at that time there were lots of medical treatments that were later considered to be harmful to pacients, and law was not very present on this field. But, nevertheless, it is crazy to know that doctors used to manage all that.

He had 11 blocks most of the surgeon's refused to do the surgery one took the risk and saved his life. After completing medicine I knew I couldn't be one.. Since especially a cardio-thoracic surgeon deals with risk and great deal of fine motor skills. Also you need to know perfect anatomy of the tissue planes and the vessels and the heart itself.

    I had my attic valve and my upper aorta replaced a couple of years ago. The doctor was Azeem R. Kahn. He was no less than the kindest, most considerate doctor I have ever met. He is extremely good at his work, and although I was so afraid when I found out I needed open heart surgery that I couldn’t even pick up a pen to sign my name, he was understanding, and very compassionate. Most importantly, I suppose, I am still alive today, so I guess that’s proof enough of his talents. These doctors have so much depending on them, that I don’t know how they can work as hard as they do without ending up in a nervous breakdown. Good people!

      The tech organizes and maintains for use a vast array of instruments. And each one has a specific name! In times past, some surgeons would employ their own instrument techs who would then become so familiar with the various operations that the surgeon wouldn't have to ask for specific instruments. The goal was to minimize any talking during operations to reduce spreading bacteria.
