One of the best parts of being a surgeon is not just saving lives inside the operating room, but witnessing love, hope, and relief just outside its doors.
Today, I met a mother who had been waiting anxiously for hours — pacing, praying, holding on to every bit of hope she had for her son. We had a long, challenging surgery… but it was worth every second.
When I told her, “Successful po ang operasyon,” her eyes filled with tears — not of fear, but of pure relief and gratitude. Moments like this remind me that behind every patient is a family who loves them deeply… and that makes every long day, every tired night, truly worth it.
Moments like these are what I look forward to everytime I take the scalpel and make the cut.
Moments like these remind me why I do what I do.
