People just assume that their jobs are the hardest ones on the planet? Very few people seem to have perspective. I'm the same. Maybe. I have a hard job.
I'm a brain surgeon. But that's not the hard part. I know my stuff, I am very experienced, with over 1000 operations under my belt. People often mistake my job as very difficult. But I compare it to being an electrician. You have rewired a kitchen many times, and often in theatre, we get identical operations. The beauty of the human body may be difference and complexity, but the schema, even of its computer, are all the same save for a rare few. For example those born with Smooth Brain Syndrome, where the tissue of the brain does not develop the characteristic texture of the brain, leaving the person essentially brain dead.
No, operations, or even research and keeping on top of developments in the field are no problem once you have a solid level of experience and expertise.
The hard part of the job comes in my own mind while in theatre. Throughout the course of the day we all think about other things at work. But when I am standing over a patient in my scrubs, colleagues staring between me, the patient, the monitors and measurements, I can't stop thinking inappropriately.
'What if I sold the scalp of this patient to a Jewish gentleman as a skull cap? He would never know'.
'Hmm, this patient had some rather nice tits. I'd like to fuck her brains out. Oh, they already are'.
'If my colleagues and the theatre nurses weren't here, would you act on your impulse to put your dick in this poor man's mouth just to say you skull fucked a patient?'
So you think you have a hard job? Try constantly battling your morality whilst others depend on you for their mortality. I have a hard job. |
