As a medical student, I'd like to dispel this myth. The surgeons tell us all the time that they could teach a monkey to do surgery. What matters is putting in the 10,000 hours if takes to become proficient at surgery, and not everyone has the time/resources/opportunity to get that training. However, I believe that almosy anyone taken from the streets and given 10,000 hours of training could become a world-class surgeon
- hereme888 3y agoIt's common for someone who finished his 10,000 hours to look back and say "I'm actually not that smart. It's simpler than it looks. It just takes time. Anyone can do it, really." Good luck finding those monkeys willing to put in the 10,000 grueling hours, endless practice questions always criticizing your performance, and a social environment that make you feel like you're the only one who is dumb, to get there in such a competitive field.
