Surgery is a vast career that goes beyond the years of schooling and education to treat individuals who need intensive care. It has been said that surgeons have one of the most rewarding careers. Though becoming a surgeon is an extensive career path, I rely on a ten-year plan to keep me in order. I understand that I will be spending the next ten years in school and continuing learning post education, but as long the more I know about the process of becoming a surgeon, the easier it will be to follow

When I was ten years old, I was told I had to get plastic surgery. I was terrified and immediately burst into tears. I didn’t get upset because I was scared, but rather I thought that undergoing plastic surgery meant the doctor was going to cut a piece of my body out and replace it with plastic. I thought I was going to be part Barbie. I eventually came to terms with this crazy idea of mine only to learn plastic surgery was nothing like that. This is where my interest in becoming a physician began

our society, to the extent that almost everything appears to have been revolutionized. Surgery has long been awaiting a change, just as everything in this world. With surgery having so many complications and areas left for improvement, the idea became that technology can be used to make a difference in surgery. Carpentier, Loulmet, Aupecle, Berrebi and Relland (1999) claim that the introduction of robotic surgery was due to the difficulty of using long instruments in the heart. Similar to Carpentier

Introduced in 1987, Robots were used in the first Laparoscopic surgery, a cholescystecotomy, to be exact. (Lee 45).Also known by names such as keyhole surgery, bandaid surgery, or minimally invasive surgery (MIS), Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical technique referring to operations within the abdomen or pelvic region. (Lee 45).More specifically speaking, it belongs to the field of endoscopy. (Lee 45).The first robots used in the surgery consisted of a Hopkins rod lens system, that was usually connected

Wrong Site Surgeries Wrong Site Surgeries Wrong site surgeries are very rare, but sometimes wrong site surgeries happen. The wrong site surgeries have damaging results for the patient and pose a huge safety problems within the organization. Usually communication breakdown is considered the main cause of wrong site surgeries in the surgical team. The Joint Commission 's universal protocol of "time out" is a very important and a helpful tool in preventing the wrong site surgeries, wrong person

Cosmetic or Plastic surgery. In my opinion, if those who are wealthy and like to look their best want to get a cosmetic surgery procedure done, then they should as it is down to personal preference and rights.

Although they have the same aim, to change or alter someone’s physical appearance, in actual fact, they are very different as they each have a specific area of expertise. Plastic surgery, is surgery that specialises

Individuals played a pivotal role in the advancement of medicine and surgery. The mid-19th century saw a breakthrough with anaesthetics, but despite this surgery was still seen as a dangerous and painful procedure. Operations were carried out in unhygienic conditions and surgical equipment and lab coats were not sterilised between operations which led to fatal infections that killed many patients. Intrigued over the cause of infection, Lister began his work on antisepsis. After reading Pasteur’s
