"HAVE PATIENCE AND YOU WILL GET EVERYTHING"
Today I would like to share one of my experiences that I learned from my professor yesterday. He is one of the renowned Paediatric Surgeon of Bangladesh. I was assisting him for excision of choledochal cyst with cholecystectomy of 6 years old female patient.
When he opened the abdomen, there was huge cyst and it involved other vital organs too. Initially I felt like he was also confused. The dissection was very difficult. Everyone were in doubt if any definitive treatment could be provided to the patient. It was indeed difficult time for the surgeons which could have been unfortunate time for the patient.
But he was so calm and steady. He dissected the structures very slowly and perfectly. He advised us, as operating surgeon to assisting surgeons, like “HAVE PATIENCE, YOU WILL GET EVERYTHING”. He was saying about the structures which we were looking for during dissection and finally he dissected the organs so nicely that we got everything as we wished and the operation was successful.
The simple sentences he said during operation got imprinted in my heart and mind. He taught me how to be calm and steady during difficult time. I believe his advice for us “Have patience, you will get everything” applies in real life too. We have to face many difficulties in life and we need to stay calm and have patience to be successful.J
