Allegory of the Surgery

You need to do a surgery. It is a difficult surgery that can change your future. Due to the sensitivity of this surgery, the hospital comes to you and gives you two options of doctors who can conduct this surgery. Surgeon No.1 was the assistant surgeon to one of the most successful surgeons in the history of this hospital for the last year. He has an extensive experience for the last thirty years in the medical field and everyone swears to his intelligence. Surgeon No.2 is the son to a not so good of a surgeon who did a surgery before that he failed to finish successfully. He was a drug addict and an alcoholic but now he is a re born Christian. Clearly the choice is easy.

However, at the time that you had to make a choice, you were under a lot of drugs and picked surgeon no.2. While doing the surgery, the surgeon decides to do another small surgery while you are under drugs anyways. You are under drugs so you do not know what is going on. This small surgery becomes a big mistake and a disaster for you and now the surgeon does not know what to do. He however, decides to stay the course even when he is wrong.

The surgery is now going for a really long time and your family outsides starts to get anxious and they are asking what is going on. The hospital administration tells them that this is a very complicated surgery and it takes a really long time. They inform you about the other small surgery but they do not tell your family the real truth. However, the administration gives your family after a while another attempt to change the surgeon. Your family who apparently does not care anymore about your health and is too lazy to be concerned decides to just keep surgeon no.2

The surgery is still taking a long time, and you are body is suffering for it because the surgeon is using all your resources. The surgeon clearly does not know what is going on and is incapable of finishing this surgery successfully.

Now you are given the opportunity to choose another surgeon. Please choose wisely.
