I know very well, and not only in the medical field, the importance of trying to be the best every day.
From a professional point of view, I always try to be informed of the advances in medicine, as I know how important it is to improve my knowledge and surgical techniques, in order to offer my patients the best therapeutic possibilities.
The increasingly less invasive methods and advances in certain techniques make patients have an easier and faster recovery. This constant search for alternatives that improve the results of surgery is also part of my work.
Competition in the field of sports
I must admit that I also consider myself competitive in sports. I am convinced that there is always a reward behind an effort.
Personally, I often practice sports. I have no problem getting up early, or even going out at night on a mountain-bike, if work allows it. I consider sport a fundamental activity to maintain a healthy body and mind, and to disconnect from the routine, no matter how attractive it may seem to me.
Over time I have participated in numerous sports competitions in different modalities, either team or individual, short competitions or marathon format, endless tests that I do with the sole purpose of improving as a person, without seeking a prize. Generally, the simple fact of finishing or trying to see if one is capable of overcoming a challenge is the prize. I believe that sport makes us better people, because it enhances values such as effort, perseverance, self-improvement and teamwork.
In recent years I have participated in mountain bike races (such as the Titan Dessert), road cycling, triathlon-type combined events… I do not consider myself an elite athlete, but a good amateur.
Professional and sporting challenges are studied, programmed and finally executed. The feeling when you finish a demanding test is one of enormous satisfaction for a job well done, something similar to a successful surgery.
In the end, one is amazed at what one is capable of achieving. Success lies in self-confidence. Thus, a patient’s predisposition before an intervention and his eagerness to overcome it are fundamental in his recovery process. That is why I am able to offer, and I believe I achieve it, 100% of my effort to all my patients, and together we have a positive influence on their recovery.
I won’t go on any longer because the subject is a long one. I think it is important that you set yourself certain challenges in your life, whatever your field of interest, and that you fight until you achieve them. Because at the end of the effort there is always a reward. I assure you.
