Should They Follow Your Lead?
Despite the ups and downs of life in the OR, you say you'd recommend a career in surgery.
Daniel Cook, Managing Editor

You might complain, moan and vent about life in the OR - but most of you wouldn't have it any other way. More than 87 percent of the 201 nurses and doctors who responded to our online survey said yes, given the choice, they'd recommit to all that is good and bad about a career in surgery and would recommend the same path to a child. But that endorsement comes with a caveat: The next generation should know what it's getting into. "They better stick a needle in their arm and open up a vein," says Cindy King, administrator of the Surgery and Endoscopy Center in Sebring, Fla., "because they're going to have to bleed right along with the patient to work in surgery." And as most of you said, they'll either love it, or they'll leave it.
