Resumen
CAMPOS, Alberto. The antifragile surgeon. Cir. gen [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.1, pp.60-66. Epub 15-Ago-2022. ISSN 1405-0099. https://doi.org/10.35366/103917.
In this article I discuss how, in uncertainty, our inferences can be optimistic without a firm foundation and how induction creates a false confidence that prevents the anticipation of catastrophic events. It explains the qualities ‘fragility,’ ‘robustness,’ and ‘anti-fragility’ in biological and human systems. Finally, I discuss the surgeon’s professional anti-fragility strategies to minimize damage and continue her work.
