It has oft been said that “The heart of a lion, the eyes of an eagle, and the hands of a lady maketh the surgeon.” Well then, time to get into it! Who or what are surgeons? What makes us tick? Do we really need the ❤️ of a 🦁, the 👀 of an 🦅 or the 💅of a👩‍💼 to do the job well?

• Are the characteristics needed to be a surgeon hardwired into us? 🧬
• If surgeons were made to wear the Harry Potter sorting hat, what house would we be, and what does that say about us…?🐍
• We get introspective about our own personalities and how we fit into this work persona 🔬 🤓
• How much crossover is there between us and psychopaths? 🫣
• Are we really more attractive than other types of doctors? 💁‍♀️
• What does it all really boil down to…? 🔪🙏
