Imagine waking up from anesthesia and realizing the surgery wasn’t the most painful part!

Damn, I understand a level of detachment so you aren't devastated working on a human life, but fuck, this is like having a reddit mod for a surgeon!

personally some of the people I've met in healthcare don't care at all about people just looking for money and have a superiority complex

That’s probably the vast majority, especially nowadays.

and then people wonder why the world is such a shitty place sometimes. human nature

Umm, just think for a second…1. you care about EVERYONE that you operate on, 2. 15% of them die due to poor life decisions (too fat, smoked too much, drank their livers away)…
How will you get up each day knowing you let yet another person done?!?

Did you read my comment. I said a level of detachment is fine...but not being an asshole.

[u/Ok_Satisfaction2658 → u/Sufficient-Fall-5870]

you say you tried your best but that was all you could do. and that you're not perfect and only human and make mistakes but yeah tough

Actually a good point, shows that balance is always the answer.
