As an orthopedic hand surgeon, I never thought of myself as a low-level surgeon, but I guess some people do. I don’t really take offense to it. This stitch is meant to be done in jest by the way (before anybody gets bent out of shape in the comments). 🦴 Even though orthopedic surgeons like myself aren’t operating on vital organs, some of the surgeries can be pretty complicated. 👉 It sounds like the guy in this video is ready to be an ortho bro. Believe it or not, most orthopedic surgeons do 10 years of training total after college before going out into actual practice as an attending. In my case, I did a five-year orthopedic surgery residency followed by a one-year fellowship in hand, upper extremity, and microvascular surgery. It was a long haul but certainly well worth it in the end. #orthopedicsurgeon #career #handsurgeon
