I imagine being a surgeon to be a very tedious job 99% of the time. Like being a mechanic. You know what's there & what you need to do.

Saving a human life must be one of the most rewarding experiences it is possible to have.
-
When you do 4 a day, five days a week? Same op. I suppose it must or they wouldn't do it.

Perhaps you do get jaded after a while. "Today I have to feed the cat, save another 3 lives, pick up groceries at Lidl. Video Eastenders."

I'm really thinking abt the work itself. The repetitiveness. Ppl can't be buoyed up by knowledge of good done every minute.

Nothing can bring ecstasy for too long. We're not built that way it seems. We can't just be continuously happy. Most of us, at least.
-
But my guess is that many surgeons really do feel a thrill each and every life they save, or nose they glue back.

Probably. They might also genuinely like this kind not mechanical, technical work. Draws more men than women
-
Also draws a lot of psychopaths. Their lack of empathy & anxiety is an advantage.
