Hi @Glenno ,

 

It is refreshing and particularly surprising to find any surgeon who seems to have any sense of humour. Usually they are just so arrogant and full of their own importance.

 

The friendliest doctor in my team was the oncologist - while he didn't joke too much himself, he was receptive to jokes from me.

 

Surgeons need to lighten up - a LOT!!!

 

Hugs,

Rick

Hi Rick,

I think the pressure, responsibility and workload probably tends to lead them to not spending too much time joking around.

I've found that their sense of humour is best described as "dry".

Hi Glenno,

This is great to hear. I think that humour can be good at diffusing an otherwise tense conversation.

Hopefully she's mostly managed to bash you back in to shape by now.
