    “Without any reason they made a cut, about 10 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide, in my arm above the palm of my hand. Today I understand that the surgery that was done on me without anesthesia was done purposely with tools that were not sterilized to cause infection. At the time they kept exchanging the bandages with different medicated creams and liquids. The bandage was not wrapped around the arm but only covered the wound. Every day they examined the cut and each time the cut was about to heal, they reopened it and started the whole thing from the beginning” (Conference).

    It has been argued that the shift towards patient-conscious medical aid is necessary and that simulation in its widest sense can be used to support this process. However, sensitivity to what we are simulating is essential, especially when simulations purport to address patient perspectives. The essay first reviews the history of medical education "centeredness," then outlines ways in which real and simulated patients are currently involved in medical education. Patient-focused simulation is described as a means of offering patients' perspectives during the acquisition of clinical procedural and surgical skills. The authors draw on their experiences of developing Patient-focused simulation and preliminary work to "authenticate" simulations from patient perspectives.

    fThere often seems to be no time to think in surgery. When a level 1 trauma comes rushing into the emergency department, a SICU patient rapidly deteriorates, or a large vessel is inadvertently compromised during a case, the instantaneous decisions made by surgeons seem reflexive, a knee-jerk reaction to save a patient’s life.

In my training, I have seen and experienced what can happen when a surgeon takes time to think. From careful evaluation and well-honed judgment they decide whether surgery is appropriate, from disciplined intelligence they excel at teaching, and from creative insight they have become leaders in research.
