Since I work in a hospital, I often get inquiries from people who know someone who needs surgery, so why not recommend a better doctor? In fact, as medical subspecialties are getting more and more detailed nowadays, it is difficult to know which doctor is doing a good surgery if you are not very familiar with them. For example, it’s hard for a cardiac surgeon to know which surgeon does ovarian cancer surgery well, right? It is difficult to know which doctor is working in your hospital, not to mention the layman, who will only see which doctor’s age, position, where he went to school, graduated, etc., and cannot know the specific surgery operation anyway. But there is always someone who has a better understanding of the surgeons in the whole hospital or even the whole region, and that person is the anesthesiologist. As you know, the surgeon is now inseparable from the anesthesiologist (if you know the history, in the early surgeons are part-time anesthesia, and even now some remote areas of the surgeon is their own anesthesia and then on the operating table to the patient), they are simply together for a longer time than their respective wives stay, simply two good friends ah. The surgeon treats the disease, the anesthesiologist protects the life, the anesthesiologist is not given anesthesia to rest, but will guard the patient’s safety throughout the operation, monitoring the vital signs. Stay for a long time, naturally the surgeon’s surgical operation is fast and slow, whether the surgery is done beautifully, the number of post-operative complications, whether the incision can heal in one phase, whether the patient is seriously responsible, are extremely well understood. Let’s say, the same tumor surgery, some patients did not have a long time to recur soon after surgery, but some doctors’ patients can survive for a long time after surgery, excluding some patient factors (tumor stage, malignancy degree, etc.), the prognosis is still very influenced by the factors of surgery (whether the tumor is completely removed, whether the lymph nodes are standardized clearance, etc.). The gold standard is, of course, mortality, but specific factors such as incision site and length, extracorporeal circulation (cardiac arrest) time, bleeding volume, incision healing rate, etc., vary from one surgical group to another.
