Employees in the professional field are known to be extremely busy people since their workplaces are usually in a fast-paced environment and they sometimes do not have any time for leisure or any break times.
Although there could be some times that they can still actually take a break however work takes almost the professionals’ whole day which is why it does not really happen often.
But of course, they are not too busy to the point where they are unable to do what every person do such as going to the bathroom. It is still necessary for humans to relieve themselves and excrete the wastes inside the body because if they did not, it will cause some health problems and diseases.
A perfect example of this kind of situation is professionals who are in the medical field. The medical field is known for its responsibility to provide proper care for every person who is in need of their medical assistance and the medical field ensures to give the best quality of healthcare for every person.
Added to this, due to the number of clients or people who are constantly in need of medical assistance, the professionals in the field of medicine will have to do their best to comply with their clients’ needs and be in their best performance in order to ensure great quality of services and for every person so that they could live their best lives healthily and without worries.
What is a Surgeon and What do these Medical Professionals do?
But to be more specific about the kind of professional who is actually extremely busy in the medical field who is constantly tending to patients and giving them treatment is a surgeon.
Surgeons are extremely busy professionals due to the number of patients who always visit the hospital on a daily basis to get any medical assistance from a doctor or they could be in a critical condition that requires fast rectification for their condition and a surgeon will always be their beck and call.
Surgeons will respond to their patient’s help quickly after a quick diagnosis. They are able to do this due to the number of years they spent in medical training as well as education.
Before becoming one of the most respected medical professionals they are in the present, they have undergone long years of education and training before attaining the licenses that will certify them as professional practitioners of surgery or a surgeon.
Surgeons spent 4 years in undergraduate studies in the medical course they want in order to get a bachelor’s degree in science. Mind you, medical school is extremely tough and expensive which is why the competition in studying medicine is extremely tough and one must always try to maintain their grades.
After going through their undergraduate studies for four years, they head to take their master’s degree in science by training inside medical establishments or facilities in order to gain experience in the medical field before they become certified professionals in the field of medicine or other health allied fields. These types of training usually last for 4 or more than 6 years because it varies with the different types of specialties a master’s students want to pursue.
While undergoing vigorous training, they will be called doctors in training or residents. Their responsibility is to assist their senior medical staff or superiors. They assist them with paperwork, tending to a patient as a nurse, and once they step into further and advanced years of their training duration in the medical establishments, their superiors or their senior surgeons would trust them enough to assist them in a surgical procedure which is held in operation rooms, since they will need the experience after all since they are going to be future surgeons as well and they will be practicing surgical processes constantly.
After the long extensive training of their medical training or residency, these former doctors in training or residents can finally get their examinations by taking a licensure exam and once they attain their licenses, they can finally practice surgical procedures on patients in medical establishments or if they wished to be in private sectors.
Now that you get a gist of a surgeon’s educational background and how busy they are on a daily basis, the question about them having a life or time for themselves comes to play?
In this article, we will discuss surgeons and what do they do if they have to go to the bathroom but they are in the middle of intense surgery.
Do they go to the bathroom?
To answer that question, yes, they do? What do you expect? Mind you that surgeons are extremely dexterous and skilled medical professionals who have probably inhaled every medical-related book and become the great surgeons they are today but they are still human beings. It is only natural for a person to take a bathroom break because if they hold it in, the wastes, inside them, there will be higher chances or risks in negative effects in the body.
And you must remember that these are the medical professionals we are talking about. They implement great health services to other people in which they must also apply to themselves.
So yes, folks, surgeons still go to the bathroom even if it is in the middle of surgery. They gotta do what they gotta do because if they hold it in, it will only make them feel uncomfortable and disrupt their performance while operating on the patient.
Surgeons will have to ask another surgeon or a doctor in training or resident to temporarily take the surgeon’s place while they use the bathroom. Once they are done with their bathroom businesses, they would re-scrub themselves again to ensure that there are no bacterias latched to them before entering the operation room.
Look, a surgeon can even take a break in the middle of surgery for more than 10 minutes, and would you honestly think that they could not go to the bathroom for a shorter period of time?
