Summary:

Moshe Schein has previously compiled two books of surgical aphorisms and quotations -- the first book Aphorisms some like to quote from the books during teaching rounds or conferences; many simply enjoy them for their collective and eternal surgical wisdom and wit.Now, as Moshe is drifting towards retirement, here is the last in the trilogy of this international bestselling series -- The Little Book of Aphorisms others may not 'get' the humor or may object to political incorrectness.But it is hoped that most readers, especially younger surgeons, will discover that surgical truth is old, that what they think is a novel idea has been said before, and that what they observe around them -- has been observed years ago. It may contribute to their humanity and humility, perhaps even add maturity to their surgical personality and practice. In addition, with a bit of luck, it may increase their sense of surgical humor -- for how can one survive a lifelong surgical career without possessing some of it:Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing. Those who lack humor are without judgment and should be trusted with nothing. Clive James (1939-2019)
