this is from a transcript I found:
Jack: Well, fear's sort of an odd thing. When I was in residency my first solo procedure was a spinal surgery on a 16 year old kid, a girl. And at the end, after 13 hours, I was closing her up and I, I accidentally ripped her dural sac, shredded the base of the spine where all the nerves come together, membrane as thin as tissue. And so it ripped open and the nerves just spilled out of her like angel hair pasta, spinal fluid flowing out of her and I: and the terror was just so crazy. So real. And I knew I had to deal with it. (He's crying). So I just made a choice. I'd let the fear in, let it take over, let it do its thing, but only for 5 seconds, that's all I was going to give it. So I started to count, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Then it was gone. I went back to work, sewed her up and she was fine.

The one where he cut that girls sac open and he got scared and then let the fear take over for 5 seconds only. Then he counted to 5 and got back into the work.

he told her the story about a fear he had related to a surgery he had done
he told her he learned the only way to overcome your fear in a situation is to count to 5 and then just do it

He only lets fear take over him for 5 or 10 seconds. She's used the "technique" before.
