As a 27-year-old chick who's had nine surgeries for a plethora of medical issues (only two of which were deemed "delicate operations"), it's incredibly comforting to see the philosophical, virtually spiritual experience for the person on the other end of the scalpel that slices into my prone body. My first surgery was at age 3, so I never correlated fear with medical procedures. Thankfully, I've only had one surgical experience that was negative- and I have a feeling it's because most of the doctors I've chosen (after being thoroughly vetted) shared your same passion and respect for the human aspect of your particular niche in the health industry.
Thank you for your blog. Not only is it a great resource for patients who wish to supplement their education for an impending specific operation, but also introduces a certain element that's so often missing in a clinical setting: heart and soul.
