What are some of the ways that you deal with difficult situations that you face as a surgeon?
I want to become a doctor, and specifically a neurosurgeon. I know that it takes a long time, there is much to learn, and years of study to achieve this goal. I realize that I could face some situations that are difficult and that no matter how good I am, I may not be able to help everyone. What I am wondering about, is how you deal with situations that are difficult and stressful, especially those where you may not be able to save someone. I am interested in understanding more about how current surgeons cope with these difficult situations. #medicine #neurology #general-surgery #surgeons
