“Paranoia gives you an edge in the OR. Surgeons play out "worst case scenarios" in their heads. You're ready to close, you've got the bleeder, you know it, but there's that voice in your head asking... what if you didn't? What if the patient dies and you could have prevented it? So you check your work one more time before you close. Paranoia is a surgeon's best friend.”
”We're all susceptible to it: The dread and anxiety of not knowing what's coming. It's pointless in the end. Because all the worrying and all the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia, is to be here, just as you are.”
