Summary of michael j. collins's hot lights, cold steel

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We were introduced one by one. The chairman of the department, Dr. John Harding, gave a brief history of orthopedic surgery at Mayo, and said we were lucky to be starting in orthopedics now. We were going to spend four years here, two as junior residents and two as senior residents. #2 I was assigned to be the junior resident surgeon with Dr. Harding. I was scared of making mistakes, and I had a lot of catching up to do. The Saturday Morning Conference was mandatory for all residents. #3 I was a counterfeit orthopedic surgeon, and I felt completely miserable. I was so ignorant that I was afraid anyone would call on me and ask me complicated questions. I would have thrown myself on the floor and asked them to shoot me. #4 I was terrified that at any moment the beeper on my belt might go off and a frantic nurse would scream, Doctor, come quickly! Mr. Arnold's TQF is trans-debilifying on his acute dorsi! His TKA is UTO'd! For God's sake, hurry! I spent the rest of the day reviewing charts.
