When we generalize errors to reflect our basic essence and character, we are heading to helplessness. For example, instead of stating a truth that “a case didn’t go as well as expected,” many of us rush to judgment of ourselves and harbor self-critical thoughts such as “I am no good” or “I am a lousy surgeon.”

We are not our mistakes, and negative self-talk robs us of confidence, peace and the energy needed to help others. The vocation of medicine is a marathon. Mistakes will manifest every day. When we befriend them and look for their value, we will evolve much more readily into seasoned surgeons.
