Gentleman Surgeon

Pages 1-3 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The gentleman surgeon is the individual who demonstrates that he/she cares, respects, and helps all of those involved in the profession, from the practicing surgeon, fellow resident, student, operating room personnel, and floor nurse to patients in treatment. Surgeons who care, help, and respect others in their daily activities are worthy to be considered a gentleman surgeon.

From the example of surgical pioneers who practiced the principles of the gentleman surgeon to the surgeon of tomorrow, we review those important characteristics associated with the humanistic approach to becoming a gentleman surgeon, that is the surgeon who cares, respects, and helps.
