Surgeon
Surgeons are highly skilled medical specialists that must execute complex procedures on patients. Surgeons must complete years of study and on-the-job training before they may operate on patients on their own. Surgeons' workdays can be divided into two parts: office hours and operating hours. They meet with patients during office hours to determine the appropriate treatment option for the patient and to discuss the patient and staff procedure.
They must also follow up with the patients after the operation. During operating hours, surgeons must stand for long periods of time in the operating room and work extended shifts without losing attention. Because of the high demands of the job, being a surgeon is not for the faint of heart.
Depending on the field and their speciality, there are many distinct sorts of surgeons. Some of the most prevalent areas of specialization are:
- Pediatrics: Medical care for children
- Neurological: Surgical procedure affecting the brain
- Oral: Operation on the mouth
- Reconstructive: Surgery that involves repairing broken parts of the body
- Cardiothoracic: Surgery involving the heart, lungs, esophagus, and chest
- Urology: Surgery involving the kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract
