INTERNATIONAL OUTSTANDING RESEARCHER AWARD” In the field of GENERAL SURGERY
Senior Resident
Myself Souvik Chatterjee, working as a post MS SENIOR RESIDENT, with the passion for surgery. Surgery has taught me OT is like a gift from GOD, you stay humble you will get through it finely, but if you disrespect it once it will show whose the real boss is.. I am just a mediocre person who feels committed to surgery, my biggest dream and I choose to chase the dream every waking or sleeping .. Like we all know ” Miles to go before I sleep” Coming from a mediocre family with no background of doctors it was tough initially to understand how it’s going to feel like becoming a doctor. Being the topper at school I came with loads of expectations at medical college and it felt miserable after few days only. Internship came in the blink of an eye, and I understood studying and treating patients are actually two different worlds. Checking upon and treating patients is like a reflex, like a muscle memory that needs back up of loads of knowledge, dedication and hard work.. Probably it requires a lifetime of grind to develop the skills a surgeon require.. Performing surgeries have made me understood perfection isn’t a destination rather it’s a journey.. OT has made me understood the importance of team work, a surgeon needs to be a leader but not a boss, who needs to be strong enough to be a leader but humble enough to learn from juniors too.. Lastly blessed to be a part of this fraternity, shout out to those late nights, to emergencies, frustrations, chasing perfections, adrenaline rush, I would always choose to become a surgeon in every lifetime, in every universe.. Thanks to Almighty for letting me worship this journey..
