Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a comprehensive definition of a surgeon by gathering perspectives from patients, healthcare workers, and surgeons.
- An online questionnaire collected respondents' views on essential qualities and shortcomings of surgeons, analyzing responses based on themes like human qualities, technical skills, and knowledge.
- Key findings showed dexterity as the top quality, but emphasized that human traits, especially empathy, are crucial; also, surgeons valued knowledge more than non-surgeons did, indicating a need for better recognition of this aspect.
