[00:23.90]A famous surgeon tells about the importance of self-confidence from his own experience.
[00:31.16]THE MAKING OF A SURGEON Dr.Nolen
[00:36.44]How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a "surgeon"?
[00:43.42]As my year as chief resident drew to a close
[00:48.27]I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.
[00:53.84]The answer,I concluded was self-confidence.
[00:58.59]When you can say to yourself,
[01:02.43]"There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently,
[01:08.81]treat just as well as or better than any other surgeon"
[01:14.74]then,and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon.
[01:20.48]I was nearing that point.
[01:24.14]Take,for example,the emergency situations that we encountered almost every night.
[01:31.59]The first few months of the year I had dreaded the ringing of the telephone.
[01:37.62]I knew it meant another critical decision to be made.
[01:42.87]Often,after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular situation,
[01:49.95]I\'d have trouble getting back to sleep.
[01:54.10]I\'d review all the facts of the case and,
[01:59.07]not infrequently,wonder if I hadn\'t made a poor decision.
[02:05.31]More than once at two or three in the morning,
[02:10.27]after lying awake for an hour,I\'d get out of bed,
[02:15.73]dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself.
[02:21.48]It was the only way I could find the peace of mind I needed to relax.
[02:28.24]Now, in the last month of my residency, sleeping was no longer a problem.
[02:35.30]There were still situations
[02:39.14]in which I couldn\'t be certain my decision had been the right one,
[02:44.70]but I had learned to accept this as a constant problem for a surgeon,
[02:50.66]one that could never be completely resolved and I could live with it.
[02:57.19]So,once I had made a considered decision,I no longer dwelt on it.
[03:04.14]Reviewing it wasn\'t going to help and I knew that with my knowledge and experience,
[03:11.22]any decision I\'d made was bound to be a sound one.
[03:16.96] It was a nice feeling.In the operating room I was equally confident.
[03:23.83]I knew I had the knowledge,the skill,
[03:28.59]the experience to handle any surgical situation.
[03:34.23]I\'d ever encounter in practice.
[03:38.49]There were no more butterflies in my stomach
[03:42.85]when I opened up an abdomen or a chest.
[03:47.60]I knew that even if the case was one in which it was impossible
[03:53.77]to anticipate the problem in advance,I could handle whatever I found.
[04:00.54]I\'d sweated through my share of stab wounds of the belly,
[04:07.59]of punctured lungs,of compound fractures.I had sweated over them for five years.
[04:14.35]I didn\'t need to sweat any more.Nor was I afraid of making mistakes.
[04:21.49]I knew that when I was out in practice
[04:26.06]I would inevitably err at one time or another
[04:31.33]and operate on someone who didn\'t need surgery or sit on someone who did.
[04:38.60]Five years earlier even one year earlier
[04:43.74]I wouldn\'t have been able to live with myself
[04:48.21]if I had had to take sole responsibility for a mistake in judgment.
[04:54.97]Now I could.I still dreaded errors would do my best to avoid them
[05:02.13]but I knew they were part of a surgeon\'s life.
[05:06.99]I could accept this fact with calmness
[05:11.43]because I knew that if I wasn\'t able to avoid a mistake,
[05:16.71]chances were that no other surgeon could have, either.
[05:22.17]This all sounds conceited and guess it is but a surgeon needs conceit.
[05:29.53]He needs it to encourage him in trying moments
[05:34.50]when he\'s bothered by the doubts and uncertainties
[05:39.46]that are part of the practice of medicine.
[05:43.82]He has to feel that he\'s as good as
[05:48.37]and probably better than any other surgeon in the world.
[05:53.93]Call it conceit call it self-confidence;whatever it was,I had it. 大学英语精读第三版第二册 大学英语精读第二册课后翻译 大学英语精读第二册课文 大学英语精读第四册 大学英语精读第二册第三版答案 大学英语精读1 大学英语精读2
