"Deep down, my raw instincts as a surgeon do not embrace being on a team. My surgeon heritage is rich with individuals who are independent, strong-willed, and borderline psychotic; hate being questioned; and rule as masters of their domains. These are hardly characteristics of team players, especially if the team is viewed as inferior. I went into surgery so I could rely on my own instincts and skills, not the team's. As a surgeon, I consider myself a loner."
