>>19628893I suppose I’ve always hand steady hands. I play sports in HS and college. Don’t know if that helps. Through med school you practice a lot (if you want to be a surgeon) and I would spend a lot of my nights watching tv just practicing on the sutures they’d give us so that helped. But the only thing that works on a real person is practice on a real person and with that comes with failures, sadly. It’s the only way to progress. A lot of my work is emergency / trauma based so it doesn’t necessarily require the most precision (unless I’m dealing with something like a liver stitch as another anon mention). Most of the times with fun shot wounds or amputations it’s just getting it done as fast as possible to stop the bleeding.
Originally I wanted to do family medicine. In my FM rotations I didn’t enjoy how much charting and mundane tasks the FM doc did. I also didn’t enjoy how many old people came in to complain. I tried ER and liked it, and when I did my surgery rotation I enjoyed how impactful the surgeons could be. I specialized in ER and got my trauma surgery fellowship a few years later. I like both ER and trauma but I enjoy not only the pay of trauma surgery more but also sometimes it really does feel like a rush hard to describe
Medical devices are not scary at all, i credit TV with making them out to be that way
