There was once a very great American surgeon named Halsted. He was married to a nurse. He loved her - immeasurably. One day Halsted noticed that his wife’s hands were chapped and red when she came back from surgery. And so he invented rubber gloves. For her. It is one of the great love stories in medicine. The difference between inspired medicine and uninspired medicine is love.

…the real problem with technique is not always how fast you can wiggle your fingers (anyone on the street can do that), but rather how they are positioned and how clearly your brain and hands are working together.
