SURGERY MINUS



It makes me think of a story my father told. In Pittsburgh, they brought a man in-wheeled him into the amphitheatre. All the interns and several of the staff were around there. They said, “That leg has got to come off,” and they swore at him, I guess, and made fun of him and everything else. He took it about as long as he could.

He finally turned around and he said, “Gentlemen, any damned fool can cut off a leg but it takes a surgeons to save one”.
