“I am a rock, I am an island.” That’s the mantra of pretty much every surgeon I've ever met. We like to think we’re independent. Loners. Mavericks. That all we need to do our job is an OR, a scalpel and a willing body. But the truth is, not even the best of us can do it alone. Surgery, like life, is a team sport. And eventually, you've got to get off the bench and decide… what team are you batting for?”
“The thing about choosing teams in real life, it’s nothing like it used to be in gym class. Being first pick can be terrifying. And being chosen last… isn’t the worst thing in the world. So, we watch from the sidelines, clinging to our isolation. Because we know as soon as we let go of the bench, someone comes along and change the game completely.”
