No specialty has such close relationship with art as plastic surgery among medicine. Both are intensely creative processes that combine technology with utmost dexterity and now are undervalued in the medical education. Art is a reservoir that provides a surgeon with creativity and improved dexterity. It is beneficial for the surgeons to practice drawing, for it can bring passion and inspiration, enhance observation and imagination, improve dexterity and accuracy, and help keep a good relation with patients. In some way, plastic surgery is art and plastic surgeon is artist.
在医学领域中,没有哪个专业像整形外科那样与艺术有着如此紧密的联系。两者都是极具创造性的过程,将技术与极高的灵巧性相结合,但在医学教育中却被低估了。艺术是一个蓄水池,为外科医生提供创造力和提高灵巧性。外科医生练习绘画有益处,因为它可以带来激情和灵感,增强观察力和想象力,提高灵巧性和准确性,并有助于与患者保持良好的关系。在某种程度上,整形外科是艺术,整形外科医生是艺术家。
