Neurosurgeon. Amazing. Not only his work but his personality too. Happiest chap i’ve seen. He teases physicians with an arabic quote: ‘the sword is mightier than talks’ and my friend quips: ‘the pen is mightier than the sword.’
Figures nerves are sensitive. And hence his profession noble. Relates axons to phone cables and plexus to poker. Dry jokes to Germans and CTS to wives. The last, I elaborate:
CTS hurts like a wife’s death, says he.
‘Why?’ u ask, so did we.
Cos it pains for 5 mins and then its history.
Give it some tender love, or else the knife
The CTS i refer to, not the wife.
