-: I've really gotten to know
my patients
over the years,
and they've become almost family.
You get close to 'em,
'cause a lot of our patients we see,
the diabetics we see
every two months.
You really get to know people.
You spend a little bit of time with them,
and you really just get to know 'em.
And there's a challenge, you know, surgically,
there's a real challenge.
I guess it's like a football game.
It's a challenge for the athlete to try and win the game,
and for surgeon it's a challenge
to get a really good result.
It's not guaranteed.
No two cases are identical.
Even though you're doing the same procedure,
they're not identical.
So it's stressful and it's a challenge.
So when you do get a good result it's very satisfying.
