The wounded surgeon…

… plies the steel
That questions the distempered part;
Beneath the bleeding hands we feel
The sharp compassion of the healer’s art
Resolving the enigma of the fever chart.

T.S. Eliot’s morbid poem says “The whole earth is our hospital.”

The wounded surgeon is the subject of a new study.

Surgeons “who practiced in an academic medical center” showed lower rates of suicidal ideation.
