Inside the Mind of a Surgeon

Conversations with five specialists.

Physicians are arguably the nucleus around which outpatient surgery centers revolve: They bring in the cases, set the pace and tone in the ORs, hold the well-being of patients in their hands, and probably have the biggest influence over whether or not a facility is successful. They can cause the staff to whistle while they work, or make them groan in anticipation of the OR.

You may hear more whistles if you endeavor to understand the surgeons in your facility-knowing where they're coming from and what their stresses and goals are will help you find ways to work with them more effectively. In an effort to help you do this, we talked to five well-respected physicians-a plastic surgeon, an ophthalmologist, an anesthesiologist, an orthopedic surgeon, and a gastroenterologist. We think you'll find their insights to be illuminating, sometimes amusing, and, we hope, useful for understanding the physicians in your facility. ??Jenn Carbin, Associate Editor, Yasmine Iqbal, Editor
