Furthermore, your influence continues post-operation, aiding in wound assessments, facilitating recovery talks, and assisting in long-term care planning. Your insights are valued. Your clinical perspective is trusted. Your voice carries weight in choices both significant and subtle.

    In this environment, your perspective is sought after, and it is recognized that every surgical success is the result of collaborative efforts characterized by trust, humility, and consistent care.
