Summary:
The Orthopedic Surgeon is definitely a job I would not want to pursue. One of my reasons for this is because I do not feel comfortable with the fact that I would have to complete surgeons. Also the pressure is present telling me I can ruin someone's life. Another reason is because I do not like the schedule they live by.
