Two surgeons collapse on the floor from exhaustion after a 32-hour surgery to save a life by removing a patient’s brain tumors.

    1. 32 hours of someone’s life literally in your hands, these people deserve so much more recognition than they get!

    2. I mean they usually do shifts of different surgery teams for long surgeries. This seems exaggerated

      I’ve worked for 30+ straight hours and it’s not pretty, you kind of start to drift in and out with periods of clarity and periods of not knowing who you are. I can’t even imagine how they can stay focused enough to work on a frigging human brain.

      I thought my mum’s 16 hr operation was extraordinary.

      They would have rotated…and let’s also not forget the ‘gas guy/woman’. They have a real hard task and also rotate. Taking over someones breathing is no easy peasy thing to do.

      Also the body is VERY AWARE that it has been traumatised for 32 hrs. It won’t take this lightly even though it is common belief because the person cannot feel what is going on, neither can the body. We were warned that after such a long surgery, heart attack was quite likely….and it did occur but once again, they pulled my relative back from the brink. Does have permanent heart damage but is alive years later.

      Are those medical grade flip-flops?

      Also, what’s up with all the junk on the floor?

      I am really bothered by the one surgeon having on sandals and uncovered feet. That seems really weird in a surgical room.

    7. They collapse at the same time? I call bs. Being tires and laying down ain’t the same as collapsing. Collapsing ain’t voluntary.
