14.The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a"surgeon"?As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close,I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.
The answer,I concluded,was(50)D.When you can say to yourself,"There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently (胜任地),treat just (51)B or better than any other surgeon"--then,and not until then,you are indeed a surgeon.I was (52)D that point.
Take,(53)A,the emergency situations that we met almost every night.The first few months of the year I had (54)C the ringing of the telephone.I knew it meant another critical resolution to be (55)A.Often,after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular (56)D,I'd have trouble getting back to sleep.I'd (57)B all the facts of the case and,often,wonder if I had made a poor decision.More than once at two or three in the morning,after lying (58)A for an hour,I'd get out of bed,dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself.It was the only way I could find the (59)A of mind I needed to relax.
Now,in the last month of my residency,(60)C was no longer a problem.Sometimes I still couldn't be sure of my decision,but I had learned to accept this as a (61)B problem for a surgeon.I knew that with my knowledge and experience,any decision I'd made was certain to be a (62)C one.It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is--but a surgeon needs conceit.He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he's bothered by the (63)D and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine.He has to feel that he's as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world.Call it conceit--call it self-confidence; whatever it was,I had it.And it is,I am sure,what a person has to make a(n) (64)B in life.
