Answer 1

I should think that it would be a bonus that you have developed very good eye-hand coordination skills--one of a surgeon's best assets. But you also will be able to judge when something is straight, even, and in proportion (such as when suturing up a wound so the resultant scar is, at least, STRAIGHT!)

Answer 2

That's a choice only you can make, friend. An artist's life is tough. Especially if you do realism. Your drawing skill will probably give you a better handle on when you look at computer generated images of internal organs. A doctor is a worthy vocation to anyone who practices honorably with integrity. Hey! You're from Egypt! There's probably more medical science forgotten in those parts than anybody'll ever know!

Answer 3

Although I'm just a layman, I would think hand/eye coordination would be a very useful trait from one to the other. Also the patience factor would be important. As an artist myself I know that patience is a virtue. And I'll bet there are many other cross-over traits that are equally impotrant.

Answer 4

If you're a plastic surgeon, it will certainly help. You'll be able to visualize the end-product of your work better.

Answer 5

That's a good question, I would think yes especially if your doing things, like stitches, brain surgery, bypasses, etc.

Answer 6

why bother?
if u wanna be a doctor u'll be a doctor
no one will give u the answe u want until u experience by yourself

Answer 7

yes you show dexterity and vision.
