There are striking parallels between skydiving and medicine, especially in surgery, where complications can arise at critical moments. This is particularly true in cardiothoracic surgery, considering the high stakes involved when operating on someone's heart. The key question is, how do you handle those complications? The answer lies predominantly in your mindset when faced with the challenge. About 95% of it comes down to your ability to remain focused on your training and carry out the necessary actions, even when everything seems to be falling apart and the situation is far from ideal. #SkydivingAndMedicine #CardiothoracicSurgery #MindsetMatters #HandlingComplications
