What I find truly fulfilling about being a surgeon is the combination of skill sets we must bring to the table.

What I find truly fulfilling about being a surgeon is the combination of skill sets we must bring to the table.

First, we have to be excellent technicians, having steady hands and the precision to perform intricate tasks with great care and structure.

Second, there’s an element of artistry involved. It’s not just about executing tasks; it’s about tailoring those techniques to the unique needs of each individual patient, within their personal context. This requires an artist’s perspective and a certain creative flair.

Finally, there’s the critical aspect of research. We don’t just perform surgeries for the sake of it, we constantly measure, refine, and improve upon our techniques to ensure we’re delivering the best possible outcomes for every patient.

These three pillars; technical skill, artistry, and research are what define a surgeon’s practice, and blending them together is what drives me. It’s what makes this profession so rewarding for me every day.
