Dr Gamdy´s article is both passionate and sad as I see it. Sad for the very reason that
it´s passionate. As we see change coming to the entire world in economic regulations
and restrictions we also will see even more changes in labor practice. In Brasil heart
surgery is strugling in a State controlled envyronment as we have free health coverage
for allindividuals of the universe (yes it´s universal say´s the law). Shifting from
private to State ownned economy as US is going will deeply impact in the way people
behave. All that passion and sacrifice that took many of us to the highs of
cardiothoracic surgery will probably be forbiden and seemed as politically incorrect as
individualism in oposition to a more colective way of doing a profession that is based
on individual achievement. So, the way I see it, cardiothoracic surgery and medicine
will change to another thing very diferent of we used to know. Not all changes are
good.
