I never understood the surgeon with poor bedside manner. If you're going to cut into someone's body, you should be able to talk to them and their families with care, patience, and empathy.
With that said, I'm not sure the stereotype of the cold surgeon is entirely accurate. I
Head and Neck Anatomy is just awesome. It is the reason I decided to train in Head and Neck Surgery, and sub-specialize in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
I was originally planning to do orthopedics. But this anatomy is just so elegant and intricate, I fell in love.

Yup. Unfortunately I had to be on the patient side of our healthcare system recently to help a family member. I was shocked at how frustrating it can be.
As a doctor, I do my best to take care of every patient. But seeing things like this can be so disheartening. There has to

Very cool. Autonomous driving should be a public health initiative. Autonomy has the ability to dramatically decrease morbidity and mortality from motor vehicle accidents. It will save lives, reduce injury, and decrease healthcare dollars spent.

Each technique has its place. A skilled surgeon should be able to use both, and deploy as needed
Also depends on type of surgery and what you’re doing (throwing a suture to ligate a deep neck vessel vs. closing skin, etc )

Becoming a great surgeon begins with an in depth understanding of anatomy. These structures in particular are important for any procedure in the neck/lower face (e.g. parotidectomy, facelift, neck dissection, etc.)
