Citation from Zollinger's Atlas of Surgery

[delennara]

"The young surgeon who learns the basic precepts of asepsis, hemostasis, adequate exposure, and gentleness to tissues has mastered his or her most difficult lessons. Moreover, once surgeons have acquired this attitude, their progress will continue, for they will be led to a histologic study of wounds, where the real lessons of wound healing are strikingly visualized. They will also be led to a constant search for better instruments until they emerge finally as artists, not artisans."
