In this world, there are 4 types of surgeons:
1. Surgeons who admit they get complications.
2. Surgeons who don't operate.
3. Surgeons who don't admit they get complications.
4. Surgeons who admit they get complications but they are always someone else's.

As usual, we'll cover their history and what they mean.

Laparotomy is associated with significant risk for to fascial dehiscence (FD). Triclosan-coated barbed suture (TCB) has previously been thought to decrease local complications. The results of this study suggest that TCB decreases FD following emergency laparotomy.

Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday.

A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths.

Past progress is proof of future potential.
