Surgeons aren’t allowed to be human, and that has to stop. Now.

We respect your intelligence and self-awareness, therefore, we do not patronize. No one in any field or vocation has made it through an entire career without a mistake, without something going unseen, unrealized, or undiscovered. When the editor of this blog overlooks something, then a blog is published with a syntax error. When a surgeon overlooks something, lawsuits are filed by relatives and attorneys who also make daily mistakes—but who chose a profession that dodges life-and-death responsibility. But those decisions have to be made. Our loved one’s health and life depend on it.

Someone has to shoulder this life-and-death responsibility—and surgeons have volunteered to carry it for us. Everyone should respect and appreciate that.

Respect means many things, including tools to meet demands. No one would have expected Michaelangelo to carve David without chisels. Neither can we expect our surgeons to perform miracles without cutting edge devices, like expecting them to perform a flow augmentation surgery without flow assessment. They can’t see inside a closed vessel, but TTFM can. Their palpating fingertips aren’t electronically calibrated to 0.1ml/min, but TTFM is.

Sacrifice and responsibility require respect. Quality work requires quality tools.

Surgeons provide the former, so we respect them by providing the latter.
