I just saw a post about a doctor monitoring his patients vitals after a 23 hour long heart transplant surgery, with the nurses sleeping in the background. I understand that that may be one of the hardest things in the world to do, and requires an amount of focus I can’t even imagine. But still, what takes **so** long in the operation room?

I’ve shadowed doctors before in the operating room and i believe it’s because of the amount of things they have to keep in mind – making the perfect incisions, making sure the patient doesn’t lose too much blood, monitoring vitals etc. Due to this most doctors choose to rather take their time working with complete care and focus rather than hurry and risk making any mistakes at all. A lot of times some things can be trial and error too and they need to make sure they’ve looked at and thought about what needs to be done as many times as necessary, and then ten more times.
