How Trauma Surgeons Stay Calm Under Pressure with Dr. Buck Parker | The Physician's Mind

Описание: In this episode of The Physician’s Mind, I sit down with trauma surgeon Dr. Buck Parker to explore what it really takes to stay calm under pressure when lives are on the line.

Dr. Parker shares his journey of building mental resilience in the chaos of trauma surgery — from learning through repetition to managing fear in high-stakes moments. He opens up about one unforgettable case: performing an emergency cricothyrotomy on a five-year-old whose airway was closing fast.

This conversation reveals the psychological tools surgeons develop over time, the importance of mentorship, and how composure in crisis is learned — not innate.

If you’ve ever wondered how physicians maintain focus in the most intense situations, this episode is a must-watch.
