    He is right in saying that Oncology is brutal. My daughter loses most of her patients, sadly. I was worried it would destroy her mentally, but she uses it to drive her. The first patient she really got close to and lost was incredibly painful. She was desperate to help her. They say you only die when people don't remember you any longer, we still remember her and use her fantastic recipes often.

    Being a surgeon was what I had always wanted to do as a career from the time I was younger, even to this very day I wish it could have happened. Though I have always had comprehension issues when studying with reading, though hands-on I immediately understand, so It was something I realized it was something I should not pursue. Just because we desire and hope to have a certain career, doesn't mean we actually can.

    Trauma surgeons saved my life. My previous RN education made it possible to make it to the trauma center alive. I suffered a L flail chest following a crush injury. Not letting anyone manipulate my left arm or lift me off the road prevented lung puncture at the scene. This allowed me to be stabilized & 3D reconstruction to take place before surgery. The night before the scheduled thoracotomy, an aide managed to puncture my lung by careless transfer technique. I got a couple hours extra ventilator time out of it & a piece of bovine pericardium to repair the lung out of it. Ribs 2-7 w/ multiple fractures, 7 years ago. I broke the titanium plate on rib 6 the first year which would be tricky to replace so we've left it alone. Chest reconstruction hurts forever but beats the alternative!

    Love this interview so much. I’m an English RN / nurse practitioner (ED) married to a consultant general surgeon and I really enjoyed listening to Dr (Mr) O’Keeffe. He comes across as the sort of experienced, knowledgeable surgeon I would appreciate working with and learning from. His points about encouraging patients to move, be active in their own recovery and to accept that pain is normal after injury/ surgery are absolute gold and I hope more clinicians can adopt this position

    Hands down the most down to earth trauma surgeon I've ever heard from. Maybe it's just the Britishness shining through haha
