It does involve stepping out, and it does involve some uncertainty about whether you're gonna be okay and whether you're gonna be able to deliver. 'I'm not sure I should take that on, because what if I fail? What if don't bring it? Then, they're gonna think, 'There's this guy… and he doesn’t have it.’ If you come in focused not on me, but on what we’re all about, which is taking care of people and taking care of patients, then you’re grounded in the right place. Then it’s okay to say, ‘I’m sorry. In that situation, I didn’t meet your expectations. I’m really focused on making this great for this patient. How can I do better next time? How can I be better at taking care of these patients?'

People, for whatever reason, got really stupid for a while and they thought that surgery in general may be evil. Because you're allowing somebody else to spill your blood and then you're supposed to live through it, and that implied some sort of magical power. And maybe it gave the surgeon control over you, maybe they were doing some kind of spell. They really weren't clear on it, they just thought it sounded fishy.
