Coulngc in Smr.cry.

An old surgeon, engaged for the mo-
ment in dissecting cold roast quail :,
and making, it must be COT fessed, only
an Indifferent job Fit, had been listen
ing incidentally to the conversation Of
his table companions, who were discus
sing the calmness and nerve displayed
by the average practitioner during sur
gical operations. Both agreed that the
pulse and cooness shown by surgeons
at such times were extraordinary and
hard to understand.
'Now, friends, if you will permit
me-" interrupted the surgeon at this
point, 81 would like to tell you that
there is nothing extraordinary about it.
The nerve, as you call it, of the sur
geon under such circumstances is the
most natural thing in the world. 1t is
not display of calmness which has
been put on for the occasion, or an ex-
hibition OF courage summoned up for
an unusual emergency, but simply the
normal demeanor of Il practical matter
of fact man who knows what he has to
do and how he is going to do it.
THE trouble with many people who
marvel at what they call Il surgeons
courage is that they fail utterly TO COM
praheud the conditions under which he
performs his work. They imagine that
he is experimenting, or that he doesn't
know his ground, or that he will cut
something that he ought not to cut.
Nothing could he further from the
facts. No movement in science or me-
chanics is preceded by a more accurate
foreknowledge Of its results than the
average operation in surgery. There is
no such thing as guess.w work about it.
The operator knows he is performing
an operation which is based upon an
exact science. He follows rules which
apply to all cases, and is secure in the
confidence that causes which have pro
duced certain effects in given instances
will do so in all others.
"Why, then, should there be any
need in his work for extraordinary
courage? There are cases, of course, so
critical or so unusual in character
as to excite even the calmest
and most self-contained OPERATOR
and when these are under treat
ineUt Tue surgeon i'oNcl VI SciI-No"'''
are frequently taxed to their utmost
limit. TO the man who, in such case,
can WELD the knife without a visible
tremor when life itself depends upon
the accuracy and delicacy Of his touch,
we must award the praise due to real
heroes. But in the average case, say
of amputation or of skull fracture in
vo!vng cranial operations, the surgeon
neither needs nor possesses more than
the courage of an intelligent, sincere
man who knows his duty and has
learned how to perform it. His techni-
cal knowledge of anatomy and his me-
thOdical habit of worf accustom him to
conditions which alarm and excite
on-proiessional minds, and he goes
about his task with certain quiet,
vigorous, asseriive confidence i'll the
result of his movements which the Oh
server is quite likely to mistake fol, a
marvellous courage summoned up for
that particular occasion. 1t is conr-
age of certain sort, ! confess-the
courage Of absolute confidence in the
inhllibility of the science he repre-
sentS.
