today's webinar is Asia Trauma Collaboration on Damage Control Resus in Trauma

When my house got burned down, I had to pretend tough and still go to school amidst dealing with the aftermath. For that one month I was "why am I alive, this is bothersome, why didn't everything just end with the fire."

But then it was my Surgery lecture, discussing liver trauma and the words of my professor haunt me until this day.

"A living problem is better than a dead one."

Like. Why? 

I think the answer I found then was only 98% conclusive. Here I am. Always thinking why. 

Nowadays I tend to gravitate to trauma surgeries. Because the essence of trauma surgery is to do whatever to keep the patient alive. Even if you don't want to live, you have to save others' life and for them to keep living. 

"Get out with a live patient with whatever odd means

Then come back again with better odds"
