That is the on case i dreaded during my fellowship. I really disliked placing that SVC cannula and "securing" it Always was worried that it would come out and the pt would bleed out. But the mini mitral is a nice case.
Being my 1st year out, I would say I'm a combination of the 1st and 3rd. I like challenge of working on complex pts during the peri-operative period, while being an important (but quiet) cog on the team (analogous to the offensive linemen comparison
@jetproppilot has made in the past). I'm quite sure that as I move along my career, I will stay the "professional artist," I don't know if I will continue to fit in the servant box. Time will tell.
