Surgeons and health care professionals are trained to fix the human body, but they are poorly prepared for the nonclinical realities that accompany their careers—complications, harsh criticism, difficult personalities, leadership failures, and the silent weight of moral injury. Most try to push through by imitating senior colleagues who were never taught the nontechnical skills either, and the result can lead to guilt, anxiety, shame, and the belief that they’re the only ones struggling.
