It was while working on the ITU that I had gone down to the operating theatres and seen the aneurysm operation that prompted my surgical epiphany. Now that I knew exactly what I wanted to do my life became much easier. A few days later I went to find the neurosurgeon I had watched clipping the aneurysm and told him I wanted to become a neurosurgeon. He told me to apply for the neurosurgical SHO job in his department which was shortly to be advertised.
