Meredith in “Put on a Happy Face”

[voice over] Unless you're paid to be there, no one ever wants to go into an O.R. It's freezing, you're naked, and a stranger will be cutting into your body with knives. But what patients don't know and what we try to keep them from knowing is sometimes it's just as terrifying for us. Traumas, heart surgery, anything to do with the pancreas. Any surgeon who says they're not afraid of those is lying. But no matter how risky the surgery no matter how scared you might be your job is to reassure your patient and tell them, "Everything is going to be okay." Whether you believe it or not.
