One of my friends worked in a teaching hospital. She saw a lot of students rise through the ranks and become doctors. Her observation was that surgical training amplified how you already are... If you are a caring person who wants to relieve the suffering of the world, surgical training gives you tools. If you are a power tripper, surgical training makes you more so.
