Question for my surgically inclined medblrs... when do you get to the point when it doesn’t feel like your arms want fall off after a full day of retracting?

So my new consultant is a little on the older side... and as they’ve been working in this area for a long time lots of the patients know them or have been treated by them in the past.
We went to see a patient yesterday and as they introduced themselves another patient ‘ Oh Dr [X], you are my favourite doctor in the world!’; after which another patient exclaimed ‘Dr [X]?! I thought they had died!’ lolzzzz
^^ Me, my consultant, and my reg ^^

“I’m pretty sure Dr. [Consultant] has admitted every patient in the state... oh no... actually wait... he also accepted a patient from [overseas]... so I think we’ve accepted everyone in the South Pacific region.”
