@doctor.nick1: Let me know which quote inspires you the most in the comments. Feel free to add your own favorite too. Please keep in mind that these were said in jest...and not all were said to me. I’ve seen a few of these on social media over the years, so big thank you to anybody who posted one of these. At this point it's hard to tell where some of these quotes originated from. Usually there is some witty banter that goes on between attending surgeons and their resident trainees. I didn’t take it personally, and I’m still friends with many of my attendings to this day. #surgeon #training #quotes #residency #residencylife #inspirationalquotes #inspirational #medicalstudent

I work as a nurse and was in the work cafeteria at the same time as three surgeons. I almost spit out my food when one of them said "Stevie Wonder could find an Appendix faster than you"

I remember waiting my turn for one of my surgeries, hearing pop music blasting and loud laughter from inside while they finished up the patient in front. The surgeon then bounded out with a big smile, introduced himself, gently bulllied me and disappeared back into the theatre. I’ve never felt more at ease. This was just a regular day for them 😂

I miss the OR. My favorite may have been a 4th year being told, “It’s not too late to be a quitter.” 😂

"Cry on the inside like a winner" has to be the most Gen X comment, ever.

“Can you find a way to help me aside from leaving the room” is iconic and universally applicable.

Also, my favourite line from surgeons is about patients: “That patient is not fit for a haircut!” 😂

When i rotated through gen surg as a student our senior in the OT said, "Look at that trashcan, for your entire time in medical school that trashcan will serve more of a purpose than you."

Not a comment but just a rather brutal vascular surgeon chucking an amputated leg at me to catch in the clinical waste bucket 😳😂
