MoMo_ Beatz Then know that you’re much stronger than most to be able to live through depression. That in itself is a tougher battle than that on the battlefield or in the operating room. To crawl out of bed everyday, to admit you’re not feeling yourself, to question your hope, but then to look up and pray to God, or speak to your soul, or the universe (the truth is in all of these together) - that in itself is proof that you won’t be depressed forever. I can’t tell you to believe in God - that is up to you - but as someone who has been living with mental illness, I encourage you to find hope in something or someone, and to realize that you’ve been entrusted with a battle that is only there to strengthen you, not to torture or destroy you.

Something that people actually don't think much about is his invaluable years of experience partaking/leading in heart related surgeries.

Most veteran surgeons seldom feel frantic or timid when performing surgical operations considering the fact that they have probably done numerous types of surgeries like these before in their career. It is quite astonishing to see his level of confidence as he prepares himself for this operation. I think most experienced surgeons intuitively learn to stay calm, optimistic, and confident through their years of performing critical operations like these.
