"What is a surgeon? What kind of a person can do what a surgeon demands--
Each and every time you enter that sterile room? Surgeons. We amputate, slice, and burn-- We tear, rip, saw, and mutilate. We inflict suffering hoping to bring relief. Surgeons. We plunge steel needles into open wounds. Use buzz saws to rip open chests. Fuse steel Rods to spinal cords. Shove scalpels into thick muscles and slice through tissue. Drill into skulls to thrust electrodes into brain matter. And if we do it wrong, the stakes are extremely high. But if we do it right, we're gods. And the people we save are forever in our debt."
