The other day one of my dear patients asked me a question before getting into a procedure-
DOCTOR WHY DO YOU CONSIDER SURGERY AS AN ART?
I guess,
Because the smell of spirit is sweeter than perfume to me,
Because my ot scrubs feel more fashionable to me than any designer clothes,
Because the clicking sound of a needle holder is music to my ears,
Because proportions and symmetry cannot be more important than in surgery,
Because when I walk into a hospital I feel as calm as I would in a temple,
Because when I operate I get into a zone deeper than meditation,
Because I can convert discomfort into comfort with a few gentle strokes,
Because I know that I can erase the lines of worry and make one smile,
Because I can make a connection with my fellow beings on a much deeper level than any other profession,
Because although I may strive for success everytime, I have to accept failure too at times,
And that is why surgery is an art and not just a profession my friend!!
