Surgeons


Ok, I figured surgeons out today. After presenting a patients age incorrectly as 54 instead of 56 (oops my bad) to my attending, I got a lecture and this life tip...

"Every person's goal is to be perfect at everything". 

Stated as if it were the most obvious and true thing ever.

And I'm thinking uh... my goals are more like this...

1. Don't kill anyone
2. Graduate med school
3. Catch a redfish this weekend
4. Find a hot pair of $900 Prada boots for $120
....etc.


Do any non-surgeons out there have the goal to "be perfect at everything"?

    I know a lot of surgeons like that! No room for error on the table.

    Me?? Hell, I'm happy as long as my kids have some healthy food in their stomach and they make it through college. That's it.

    Ugh! I know surgeons like that. I generally don't like surgeons. Prefect? Gosh, I gave up on that after a month at med school. Give me happy over perfect any day (and that's difficult enough!).
