Abstract
It has been over 30 years since I began my journey in orthopedic surgery. During this time, I have operated on many patients and listened to countless stories they shared after their procedures. However, six months ago, while still actively practicing, I found myself on the other side of the operating table, undergoing emergency coronary artery bypass surgery.
For the first time, I experienced a major surgical process through the eyes of a patient. This period was full of lessons and insights I hope to carry forward in my professional life. I feel compelled to share some of these reflections with my colleagues in the hope that they may offer a glimpse into the patient’s world.
