I really enjoyed listening to him talk about his daily procedures and operations. He seems like he tries to make his young patients feel as comfortable as they possibly can, given their situation. Unfortunately, when he loses a patient, at least he can find comfort knowing that he researches to find new cures and more effective methods to ward off these problems in the future.
i enjoyed hearing dr lovvorn talk about being a surgeon but i definitely don't think being a surgeon is the job for me. it was still interesting to hear about though
I don't think I could ever be a surgeon because it is so intense. Dr. Lovvorn has so much passion for his job and really loves what he does even though his job is emotionally tough.
What impressed me the most was how real it was. I mean, most people don't show actual pictures, but these really let you know how it is inside a person's body. It was interesting and he seems like he can really relate to his patients. I think that he would be the kind of person who is touched by the patients he loses but in the long run he may just have to say that some will have to die. It's the way of the world.
I could definitely see myself doing pediactric surgery. It seems like it would be a rewarding job.
There's no doubt that having such a job can take its emotional toll on a person. But Dr. Lovvorn has done well in dealing with it. He accepts the fact that death is unavoidable a lot of times and works around that, focusing on the good he has been doing and how he can work harder to avoid it. I really admire him and would like to be a cardiac surgeon in the future.
What impressed me the most? Watch him talk about his minor cases, and watch him make fun of these procedures which mostly happened because of a parent's inattention. Then, I was impressed by but also attracted to the pictures of growing tumors, complicated procedures, etc...
I think losing a patient is something a surgeon has to know how to deal with, although it still is hard. Surgeons do whatever they can think of to save the patient. Sometimes, it just isn't enough.
