as I said, Ive never given it much thought.... just got me thinking when I read itQuestions like these are weird, because it depends heavily on the individual. Some surgeons are amazing but also autistic or sociopaths and....they don't experience psychological anguish, they just see it as a physical job to complete meticulously and precisely. Same for fighters, some fighters love to fight, they aren't nervous, they aren't solemn, it's fun, they're good at it and they want to go out there and do their thing. Plenty of examples like this. It's a spectrum, then there are surgeons who are haunted by the realities of their jobs and there's fighters that are too, look at Max Baer in boxing for instance. It's both relative and circumstantial.
As for the level of difficulty to become a Surgeon vs getting into the UFC, it's is debatable and entirely relative too. Some people are predisposed to an environment that would nurture one being a doctor or a surgeon just like some fighters are to becoming a fighter. Then there's all sorts of other factors. It's safe to say most surgeons could have never been great fighters and most fighters could have never been great surgeons.
So it's relative, there is no real right or wrong answer...no tangibles here.
you make a lot of good points though
