Look Into This Surgeon’s Face . . .

Posted on February 23, 2015 by Maggie Mahar
Below, a photo from:
Faith in Humanity @TheWorldStories · Feb 16

A Heart surgeon resting after a  23-hour long  (successful) heart transplant. His assistant is sleeping in the corner

Clearly, he has given his all. 

Imagine what he would look like if the surgery had failed.  This is an unbelievably difficult job.
