You Can't Backslab a Broken Heart
So you’ve got into specialty training? Made it to the promised land? You can turn it on to autopilot and cruise your way to the end right…?
Wrong.
Buckle up and strap yourself in! This is where shit gets real.
Many trainees will be absolutely fine, but what if you’re one of the ones who aren’t? Complaints? SUI? Complications? Failing FRCS? All these things knock your confidence which is essential for both survival and progression in surgery? So what do you do? How do you go on?
As eminent Gotham city physician Dr. Thomas Wayne once rhetorically asked his son: “Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again…”
Granted, even though we’re a) surgeons not physicians, b) not billionaires and c) not Batman…the sentiment still holds true.
Today we’re joined by local lad, orthopod extraordinaire and all-round top bloke Rich Unsworth (Health Education North West) as we talk about the journey from the highest highs to the lowest lows, and how you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and find the will to carry on.
It's a long slog to the end, you might end up broken, and like the name of the episode suggests, 6 weeks in a plaster cast sometimes just isn't enough....
