"I agree with you; there are many pros to being a surgeon. Like any profession, there are a few cons, such as long work hours, extensive educational requirements, and legal risks. However, I knew this before pursuing my career, so the long work hours and education don't bother me. Regarding the legal risks, I do everything by the book how I was trained, I give informed consent and go over the risks associated with my treatment, and I am a diligent physician. Continuing with this throughout my career will minimize the legal risks associated with my profession."
