The tricky part in my surgical career is I have a supervising surgeon watching all the goofs and foot-in-mouthisms. So I have to reassure the patient, and still manage to keep the surgeon trusting.<BR/><BR/>I medical research, I have had some days where everything goes wrong, which means an experiment that starts with 8 subjects ends up with four. Any variation means that test is excluded from results. Temptation can be to make do, and lots of my colleagues do. However, I guess I know how important basic research can be in the long term, and it is worth making sure the data is quality, before everyone else bases their results on yours.DrCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217209622964368314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-6186499324182718872008-12-10T09:35:00.000-06:002008-12-10T09:35:00.000-06:00$300 for the quilt?

Last night, I sewed on the frill the wrong way round and spent 2 hours unpicking the whole thing. I am about to go back to it (and, please God, it will work out) but up til now, I've not even been able to look at it! <BR/>I have every admiration for you surgeons who have to work thru' your frustrations and doggedly keep at it. Particularly if "one of those days" becomes 2 or 3 ...Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-28694827972922230862008-12-10T09:08:00.000-06:002008-12-10T09:08:00.000-06:00I guess the mark of a wise surgeon is to know perf...I guess the mark of a wise surgeon is to know perform with more care when s/he realizes it's "one of those days."<BR/><BR/>Nice post.
