Medicine emphasizes teamwork. The role of a lone hero triumphing in every battle is simply impossible in the medical field.
Think about it: when a patient is rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, what can a single doctor do? Resuscitation requires the collaborative efforts of many people from different departments.
In the past, her role as a pathologist was to support others, unlike now when she is learning to be a surgeon, she is actually becoming the primary physician for patients. The primary physician is responsible for leading the entire medical team treating the patient. When help is needed from other departments, one must ask for assistance.
When should one seek help from others, and when should one not? Is it merely a medical issue?
