A member asked:
I am 4'8 inches tall and want to be a surgeon in the future and wanted to know if my height would be an issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope.: Like military generals, there are both tall and short ones. (Think Napoleon here.) Height is not an issue, because adjustable tables and footstools are available to all.
