Abstract

This piece explores a personal path to becoming a surgeon, driven by a moment of helplessness at a beloved family member's bedside. Unable to alleviate their suffering, the sense of inadequacy and helplessness fueled a determination to pursue surgery, particularly trauma surgery. Through rigorous training, purpose was found in the ability to act decisively and compassionately in moments of crisis. This journey, shaped by personal loss, reflects how vulnerability can transform into a deep commitment to healing and service of those in need.
