AB  - Mythology  is  the  term  given  to  a  collection  of  teachings  that  belong  to  a  particular  group,  used  to  explain  the  nature  of  their  world  and  the  origins  and  significance  of  their  ritual  practices.  The  operating  room  is  naturally  full  of  sacred  rites  dealing  with  the  human  condition  (good  and  evil),  and  human  origins  (life  and  death).  In  this  world  emerged  the  flawed  hero—the  surgeon.  How  did  the  classic  character  traits  of  the  surgeon—the  “God  complex”—emerge?  And  is  there  any  place  for  a  kind  surgeon?
