Cut Here: A Surgeon Mom's Letter To Her Little Boy

By Katrina B Mitchell

This short story illustrates a mother's journey as she becomes a parent during her surgical training, and describes how her work complements, rather than competes, with raising her son. As her son grows, he becomes more interested in his mother's surgical career. She reflects on his wanting to accompany her to work and wear his own scrubs. It concludes with her emphasizing that she wants him to find his own joy in life, but for the moment, she is proud of his skills with scissors when she says, "cut here, little surgeon."
