Surgeons aren’t immune to emotion—yet the emotional dynamics of surgery are rarely discussed.

A new article introduces the concept of Emotional PRISMs (Patient-Related Identification in a Surgeon’s Mindset)—a modern approach to understanding how unconscious emotional associations can subtly shape surgical decision-making, communication, and patient care.

From cognitive biases to unresolved emotional echoes from past cases, PRISM awareness may be essential for safer care, better teamwork, and surgeon resilience.

⚖️ Bariatric surgery vs. GLP-1 medications: which delivers better weight-loss results?

đź“Š NYU Langone researchers reviewed 50,000+ patients and found:

Sleeve gastrectomy & gastric bypass: ~58 lbs lost (~26% total weight loss) after 2 years

GLP-1 medications: 12–13 lbs lost (~5–9% total weight loss)

💡 Takeaway: Surgery remains the most effective option for long-term weight loss—but GLP-1s are still important tools when used with proper follow-up and lifestyle support.
