I was operating a large vascular arterio-venous malformation on the eye, face and the temple today. As it was pulsating, i was watching the extent and the sheer size of the tumor. What might have created this complicated tumor? How do these things happen in nature? We believe we have mastered a lot and are experts in our field, but the sheer magnitude and complexity of nature and its creations overwhelms me. We are nothing before nature and its amazing creations. The more we learn, the more we feel we need to learn. As we grow with experience, we understand and start realizing that we are miniscule and are not the creator, we are just tools working on behalf of nature.
I keep wondering about the complexity of the human body and have learnt to respect this magnificent creation called the "human body". I agree that I love my work in plastic surgery especially oculoplastic surgery because of the immense opportunities that I get to create and work on the human face especially the eyes which are a tiny bundle of intricate complexity.
