  • Meet the trauma specialists from Singapore's Tan Tock Seng Hospital - chief surgeon Dr Teo Li Tserng and his team of doctors - who gave CNA Insider unprecedented access to their operating theatres, where life and death decisions must be made within seconds.
    And learn what they do to rehabilitate trauma patients - such as victims of accidents and violent crime - both physically and psychologically.
    What is the difference between a trauma and an emergency room (ER) doctor? What does it take to be a trauma surgeon - of whom there are just 10 in Singapore?

      I- u sound like a 21 year old who thinks they know a lot but even though doctors study their asses off in Med school, nurses still have more medical experience than doctors. Nurses also spend much more time with patients, so what ever bullshit the patients, the patients’ relatives or doctors give them, they have to handle it. But you can’t just compare like that. Whatever the doctors lack in, the Nurses cover up for it. It’s a medical team. U don’t just work alone as a nurse or a doctor.

The doctors give the prescription, we make sure they receive the care they need in order to get better.

We forget about those that work in government hospitals and those that need to work 48 hours continuously. Kudos to that!

      long hours, high stress, sometimes very meager pay for the trainees/junior doctors who are covering the hospital 24/7.
      but also, the satisfaction of knowing you performed the way you were trained that allows someone to get better, and putting a smile on their face or hearing a simple thank you - that’s priceless, that’s what really makes the tough days all worthwhile.

Have been to courses there, n it was one best experience to learn from them. I even recognise one hepatobilliary surgeon in his team when they were on table i forgot his name though he was our course instructor in 2018 for hepatic tumor removal guidelines .

    Its a shame here in Philippines people are shaming doctors in social medias, just imagine the patient to doctor ratio here, also the people's lack of understanding what type of patient gets attention first. 😟
