5 Essential Features of a Top Surgeon

1. Fingers of a Lady - Delicate, yet intrinsically firm to handle even the finest of surgical instruments and manoeuvring them with deadly precision (not to be confused with an abnormal fetish for the vegetable lady's fingers)

2. Eyes of an Eagle - Sharp eyesight to pinpoint even the most minute detail during surgery, which is essentially important during micro-surgery

3. Heart of a Lion - Brave enough to take risks during surgery as well as being cool, calm & collected during a surgical crisis

4. Stomach of a Camel - Able to withstand not eating food and drinking fluids for at least 12-13 hours straight and not develop gastric pain in the long term

5. Legs of a Horse - Mighty lower limbs to support the body for the entire duration of the surgery and an innate immunity to falling down by slipping on banana skins

This must be from Dr Shwe's bedside teaching, I presume? :p

Actually, to be precise, it was during our PBL with Mr Shwe! =)

This dude is awesome man! He knows a lot of random stuff that actually can prove to be quite useful under some circumstances!
