Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

Thank you so much for joining us on Cold Steel!

The tremulous surgeon seems like such an oxymoron, an impossible paradox. The reality of course, is that many surgeons have a tremor. Our discussion on this episode with Lilli Cooper on tremors was a wonderful exploration of performance anxiety in surgery. Lilli Cooper is a plastic surgeon in the UK, and produced a segment for the BBC on tremors in surgeons. We caught up with her to talk about what she’s learned about tremors and the insights she has on performance in surgery. You can check out all the work she does on her website https://lillicooper.co.uk/.
