When the surgeon says: "This is my first time performing this procedure

What is a doctor actually thinking when they drop the line, "This is my first surgery."
I’ve had this happen to me—and I know others have too—and honestly, it just feels super sketchy and weird to hear.
Is it like... their version of a first time?

What the hell? 🤣

What are you guys even stressing about? If the surgery was a success, who cares if it was the first, the hundredth, or the ten-thousandth one performed? The only thing that matters is that everything turned out fine. I know it sounds crazy, but in any profession, there’s always someone doing something for the very first time. I don't see what's so weird about doctors performing a procedure or running an operation solo for the first time.

Locking this thread because it's completely pointless.
