Statistically, an experienced surgeon still will encounter 20% of Hypothyroidism and 15% case of Recurrent Hyperthyroidism along his career.

Strangely enough, an unexperienced surgeon will encounter such complication by 22% and 20% respectively

And so, we can conclude that after those whole year of experience, we do get a little wiser by a mere 2 %

Really, this phenomenon can be projected in our daily life as well. Contrary to popular belief, experience rarely made us any wiser

Take me as an example, after 4 years stuck in medical school, I am experience enough to know that by this point, with 7 days left before my first paper of Operative Surgery, I will not going to finish my revision if I dont give my 110% effort dedicated solely to studying….

However, I am not wise enough to restrain myself from typing this post…

Yet, my 2% share of wisdom is dedicated to miscallenous preparation for exam (which unfortunately exclude "sparing more time for study").
They include:
1. Stocking up my ice box with fresh fruits (since Fructose can give a quick supply of energy, and doesnt predispose for Diabetis Melitus)
2. Hiding my "sinful box" of chocolates and confectionaries behind the pile of boks, promising myself that I’m gonna grab that in case of extreme lethargy and an absolute indication for "Glucose transfusion per os" to prevent shock.
3. Bought another packet of reverse sugar. No, i didnt have DM, and Im not watching my weight either. its simply because sachharin disolve 0.2s faster in my mug of midnight tea/coffee compared to ordinary sugar. Imagine if I took 10 tablets per day, that 2 extra seconds I can spent for my revision !!!
4. Put an extra budget for stationary and files. Good for arranging my notes. But, it will prove to be difficult to open that folder each time I need to refresh my memory on collateral circulation of extremities. So, after spending a gran 500rubles, most of the files still stuck under my desk, and on top of the desk, is a pile of papers, notes, pens, pencils, and…uh…..is that erasers or the left-over sandwiches crumbs I made 5 days ago??

See??? I’m 2 % wiser now

Now…now…where did I hid my sinful box??
