Almost made it through!

👉 As you probably know, we surgeons are not known for having small egos! 

🏥 There is an old saying that in some hospitals they have to widen the doors in the OR so the heads of some of the surgeons can fit in.

😷 Sometimes it’s a fine line between being confident and having too much of an ego.  Obviously, you want a surgeon who is confident in their abilities.  However, you don’t want them so arrogant they think they can do no wrong.  This is a fine line that many surgeons must walk.  I try my best to stay on the right side of it.  Luckily I have a wife and a five-year-old who can keep me grounded the second I get home 😂. 

🚨 Which surgeons do you think are the most arrogant?  Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment.

👉 Also, before anyone gets bent out of shape keep in mind that I am a surgeon myself.  Yes, some of us to have a sense of humor about our tendencies.
