To be a good surgeon, you have to think like a surgeon. Emotions are messy. Tuck them neatly away and step into a clean, sterile room where the procedure is simple. Cut, suture and close.
But sometimes, you're faced with a cut that won't heal.
A cut that rips it's stitches wide open.
They say practice makes perfect. Theory is, the more you think like a surgeon, the more you become one.
The better you get at remaining neutral, clinical.
Cut, suture, close.
And the harder it becomes to turn it off.
To stop thinking like a surgeon.
And remember what it means to think like a human being.
