A2 - Cochran, Amalia A2 - Braga, Ruth Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Introduction to the Operating Room 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?
