Thank you comment icon Hi Annie, Your inquiry is right up my alley! This is again me for the third time :-) You're the ideal mentor for me, but my specialty is economics, so I'm not in a position to offer guidance. I suggest diving into this fascinating subject from an Artificial Intelligence perspective or continue looking my peer's advice. May blessings always be upon you! Isida Mici

Angel’s Answer

As a cardiovascular surgeon, my favorite part is the opportunity to make a direct, life-saving impact on patients. Performing surgeries that can extend life or significantly improve a person's quality of life is incredibly rewarding. It’s also a field that requires continuous learning, which keeps me engaged and always striving to improve. However, my least favorite part is the long hours and the emotional toll that comes with complex surgeries or patient outcomes that don't go as hoped. The responsibility is immense, and the pressure can be intense, especially when dealing with critical cases. But despite these challenges, the ability to help others makes it all worth it.
