A Parade of Shoes

Typically, ophthalmologists like to discuss subjects that they feel to be weighty, such as what to do with this disease or what to do about that surgery. This includes considering even the minutiae of very specific techniques and hand positioning.

Today, I read a discussion about what the best type of slip-on shoe is. Admittedly, this seems less ponderous a topic. I think it is important, though, to think about comfort and ease during the operating day. A comfortable surgeon seems likely to perform better in the operating room.
