Humorous remarks
I'm going through old notes and came across some from an orthopedic surgery seminar. Man, that surgeon had some great ways to put things. Here are the only two I managed to record.
About a spectacularly stupid dog he knew: "If it were to develop another neuron, it could have a synapse."
What it's like the first time you go in to surgically reduce a fracture: "You'll feel like a cow, with a gun, going fishing."
I particularly like that last one. First times doing something new, especially something new and difficult, are like that. I remember my first abdominal surgery! A cow, with a gun, going fishing. Stick with it. Sometimes, you get good at something difficult.
