Well, RS certainly prepared him for how to deal with the patient dying.

I'm sure he tried to save my beloved RS, too.

I remember reading a Rolling Stone article years ago about neurosurgery residents (7 years) where one of the guys lost something like his first 17 patients on the table (because they're all cases like anyeurisms). He stuck with it and, one night, placed the clamp in a pool of blood to within a mm of perfection to close the bleed. Their training was: learn a procedure, do a procedure.

I am grateful that people like yourselves undergo the arduous process to become an MD.

Good luck and thanks!
