[HSF] The Hard Way [OT]

[Nasser F. Abou'Seada]

Dear Prasanna 
I think real SURGEONS do share this stigma in a way, they do feel the
challenge, and one way or another they decide to do it the hard way. I think
that's what would make an individual difference at a critical situation in
OR. 
You are not alone. and may I concur with you ..... that's what would provide
for a different perspective of things .... a realistic perspective I may add
... 

I recall some golden words of a real Master of the Art, the infamous Dr. De
Vega, having the privilege of dining with him on the same table, that one
should not be disappointed at certain behaviour of some colleagues in
practice, should not get into despair, as all of us - he said- have had such
times of hardships ........ ... .... .... .... 

Probably that was a good impetus, I may add, to persuade such a hard way
.... probably we should be grateful to all who have driven us towards it
....
