Practical Lessons From the Operating Room You Can Apply to Life
Some things are universal. For instance, you can learn lessons from one area (even a very technical one) that apply to other areas of your life (or life, in general).
Let’s take the operating room. I recently led a young trainee through a surgical skill and believe some things you do as a surgeon can translate to everyday living, despite the very scientific nature of the job.
