The decision for surgery is far more important than the incision of surgery. The decision of surgery is more important. There's an aspect about surgeons that it's the only profession where there's this huge dichotomy. Our diagnosis of an ailment is based on doubt, skepticism, investigations. And what is treatment and healing based on? Hope, belief, faith, trust. So you have to convert a person who comes with skepticism, doubt, and gets back to the quality of life he so desires. It's something that you have to handhold them. For me, when I look at a patient, I don't just look at him, but I see him. I believe in being empathetic and compassionate. And that's the way that I bridge this dichotomy from being suspecting to finally healing the person physically and mentally. That is why the decision is far more important than the incision.
