Scientists had managed to teach chimpanzees technical aspects of surgical procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The authors wondered whether primates might one day learn to perform a simple, standard surgical operation. This was long before anyone imagined the use of robots.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental illusion\u2014that surgery is merely a technical skill\u2014remains difficult to dismantle, especially with the rise of specialized technical roles such as endoscopy nurses and hernia specialists.<\/p>\n<p>Patients like to believe that surgeons, like robots, always operate at the peak of their abilities. No one imagines a surgeon having a bad day, being in a bad mood, feeling unwell, or simply being bored. Here is the shock: surgeons are human too.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, anyone who wants to be a smart surgeon must know more than anatomy and physiology. A smart surgeon must understand how emotions and behavior affect performance, recognize personal limits, and manage both success and failure.<\/p>\n<p>This book explores the idea that being a surgeon involves much more than knowledge. It offers a framework to help professionals get the best out of themselves in moments of triumph as well as adversity.<\/p>\n<p>This book is not for monkeys. It is for surgeons who want to be more than good technicians\u2014those who want to optimize performance and behavior through insight and intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5010,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1003],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11309","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-general-surgery","7":"pa_autore-shiralkar-uttam","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"sale","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
