When I was a medical student I observed a neurosurgeon removing a brain tumor with a suction tip. Horrified as I watched him suck out the area of the tumor, I asked how he knew he wasn’t sucking up normal brain tissue. His response? “Good brain don’t suck”.
It’s not brain surgery . . .
Neurosugery was EASY compared to MEDICINE. How could anyone remember all that stuff! I used to grade the Internists by the number of “RULEOUTS.”
