Tatjana’s Answer

Hi Vanisha,
I recommend training your visual memory. As a surgeon you must know your anatomy by heart. Before surgery consult textbooks with lots of step by step graphics the night before and watch you tube videos if available. In your head visualize each step of the procedure, what materials you'll use and say out loud when you have to extra careful and why. Do that 1-2 times. You'll be just fine. by the time you perform your own routine surgeries, you will have seen one (in fact several), done one (in fact several under supervision), and will then feel fit to try one :-)
Never do drugs, don't smoke, exercise lot. Nobody likes an edgy surgeon with shaky hands and scattered concentration.
Good luck to you.
Tatjana

Estelle’s Answer

The key to being a successful surgeon is doing the same procedures over and over again following the very same steps. That is why residencies take several years after medical school. General surgery is a five year residence so that you will perform the same procedures with someone watching and teaching the same techniques over and over. Doing uncomplicated procedures then prepares you for the more complicated ones. Just like learning any skill, practice makes perfect!
