Every Surgeon Carries a Small Cemetery: The Philosophy Behind A Surgeon's Tale
The French surgeon Rene Leriche wrote that every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, a place where he goes to pray from time to time. It may be the most honest sentence ever written about surgery.
What does the small cemetery quote mean?
Every surgeon remembers the patients they could not save. Not as statistics but as names, faces, and operating room moments replayed for decades. Leric Read more of this blog post »

Yahya's review
of
Mastering the Knife: Seeking Identity & Finding Belonging (A Surgeon's Tale Book 2):
"I enjoyed reading Dr Michael story from a lost student to a surgeon.
I like how he is honest in sharing his parts of his personal life. I admire how his used his father voice to push himself through school, college, and then medical school. " Read more of this review » |

“We arrived in New York as academic students with non-immigrant visas. Although we didn't see ourselves as immigrants, we had brought all our earthly possessions to America, along with our emotional past and personal histories.”

“Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
