How much are surgeons talking about med stud skills in OR?

I have enough hand strength that almost any needle and suture (short of the #1 or #2) can become a pop-off. 😀

ALL needles are pop-offs if you pull hard enough. Even #5 fiberwire.

I think that a Surgeon wants it done his/her way, and that all Surgeons vary one degree or another. A Surgeon is the star of the show, and all things must work as he/she requires in order to get the job done. If a Surgeon is suggesting a better way, be thankful and comply. A Surgeon is responsible for the outcome and must have his/her needs met to accomplish a task of such great multitude. It is important to understand, that every Surgeon is a master at his/her task, and requires all that is required to do the best in every single detail.

I think it depends on the student. I agree that most cannot tie for Sh*&...I know firsthand...I am with my classmates most days 😀. I think students interested in surgery SHOULD be practicing skills. It took time but I perfected one handed and two handed ties, ambidextrous at that, simple, interrupted, various mattress, facial closures, buried sutures, sub-cuticular stitch etc., how to secure chest tubes and ports. I have had interns get pis*ed at me because I made them look like scheisser in front of the uppers or attending... depends on the person I guess.

So, you bumped a 3 year-old thread to brag that you can tie knots?

Your signature beneath your post is the most cringe-worthy thing I've ever read on this website... and I've spent many an hour reading the pre-med forums.

"I make your interns look like an M1"

Actually it was "I make your intern look like a M1"... didn't even have the decency to use proper grammar.

The bump gave me a like, so I'll allow it.

The best part of the signature is the idea that it's some kind of accomplishment to make interns look bad

I like the confidence. We need more people with confidence in surgery these days. Fewer people talking about empathy and work life balance.

What is this "work life balance" you speak of?
