    “The idea that the Swedish economy is headed for
a crash is nonsense,” Blomkvist said.
    “You have to distinguish between two things – the
Swedish economy and the Swedish stock market. The
[5] Swedish economy is the sum of all the goods and
services that are produced in this country every day.
There are telephones from Eric, cars from Volvo,
chickens from Scan, and shipments from Kiruna to
Svövke. That’s the Swedish economy, and it’s just as
[10] strong or weak today as it was a week ago.”
    He paused for effect and took a sip of water.
    “The Stock Exchange is something very different.
There is no economy and no production of goods and
services. There are only fantasies in which people from
[15] one hour to the next decide that this or that company
is worth so many billions, more or less. It doesn’t have
a thing to do with reality or with the Swedish economy.”
    “So you’re saying that it doesn’t matter if the Stock
Exchange drops like a rock?”

    Nobody likes to feel impotent when facing facts.
But according to many psychologists, those who do
not want or do not know how to use power go far beyond
a disagreeable and temporary sensation: they condemn
[5] themselves to a life of frustrations.
    What is not lacking in our society are theories and
methods to teach us how to be more assertive and
how to be more powerful. However, as any order-giver
knows and is tired of hearing, power brings many
[10] problems with it. To understand these, it is enough to
take into consideration that exercising power results
in notable psychological changes, such as evaluating
others much more unfavorably when they are regarded
as manipulable. When we have managed to have others
[15] do what we want, regardless of how praiseworthy and
efficient their behavior has been, we tend to attribute
the success to the excellence of our orders, and not
to their skills and motivations.

TEXT

Most thoughtful individuals would agree that there is a
divergence between chronological age and objective
levels of intellectual and technical surgical
performance. As one considers the proper parameters
[5] of competence and who should measure them, it
should be emphasized that the definition of
professionalism is that the patient’s well-being must
remain paramount to that of the surgeon. As with most
biological functions, there is a bell-shaped curve of
[10] competence that embraces the physical, cognitive,
emotional, and psychomotor skills and the ocular
realms. Fortunately, objective methods to measure
these functions within the medical field are widely
available.

[15] The physical parameters of strength, coordination and
vision peak during the third decade of surgical practice
and then diminish at a variable rate. As the human
visual system ages, the lens and cornea begin to
opacify and increased light is needed for proper
[20] visualization.
