“As surgeons, we’re trained to look for disease. Sometimes the problem’s easily detected. Most of the time, you need to go step-by-step. First, probing the surface, looking for any sign of trouble: A mole, or a lesion or an unwelcome lump. Most of the time, we can’t tell what’s wrong with somebody by just looking at the. After all, they can look perfectly fine on the outside, while their insides tell us a whole other story.”
“Not all wounds are superficial. Most wounds run deeper than we can imagine. You can’t see them with the naked eye. And then, there are the wounds that take us by surprise. The trick with any kind of wound or disease is to dig down and find the real source of the injury. And once you’ve found it… try like hell to heal that sucker.”
