Who has more concentration/focus...a Surgeon or a Navy SEAL?

Postby dasco » Sat Apr 02, 2011 5:32 am

A potential surgeon candidate would have to hold the discipline of going through eight years of school and 3-8 years of internship/residency. This could possibly take up to 16 years of schooling just to be in their position. During surgical procedures, they must stay focused/concentrated in the task at hand or it could cost the patient their life, possibly followed by a stressful malpractice lawsuit. Fine motor and eye coordination has to be spot on in order to finish a simple task required on top of the 100 other essential steps ahead. They must have all distractions swayed away and focus clearly on the patient's problem. Their on call mostly 24/7 and live a life of stress which can lead to marital and personal problems.

A Navy SEAL has to go undergo one of the most, if not the hardest, training programs ever known to man. Score well on the required subjects on the ASVAB, 20/20 vision, and be physically conditioned prior to selection to BUD's. However, during BUDs training, there is a phase known as "hell week," which weeds out the people who don't really want it. You have to have it down physically, emotionally, and most of all, mentally. This will push the candidate to the biggest challenge they have ever faced in life. Once they become a SEAL, they will be assigned to a team and deploy for a certain amount of time. While deployed, they will have the ability to invade, assault, and escape like ghosts. It's as if it never happened. This takes a deep level of skill, determination, confidence, and ability to execute.

I'm neither of these professions, but I found these two to be the most respected/demanding fields.

They are both similar in that a few seconds can mean life or death, however for doctors this usually is about strangers. For SEALs it could be their life, their friend's life, or a strangers life. SEALs have to focus in much harsher conditions, and distracting, for longer periods of time. They have to make snap decisions that could literally start a war. Surgeons usually know everything that's going to happen ahead of time and only work certain hours, I think, maybe not so much for emergencies.
SEALs also have to have team work, remember the snipers rescuing that captain by firing at the same time.
So SEALs. The hardest job would be SEAL corpsmen, who do both jobs at the same time. They do surgery on other SEALs in their team that get shot, while they'll still getting shot at.
