The Little Book of Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon

The Little Book of Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon by Moshe Schein is a compilation of surgical quotes and aphorisms that provide eternal wisdom and wit for surgeons.

Dr. Schein has previously published two books on surgical aphorisms and quotations. The first book, Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon, contains 1500 quotations, and the second book, A Companion to Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon, is a slimmer version of the first. Both books have become steady bestsellers among surgeons, who use them as relevant and entertaining entries in their lectures or manuscripts. Many surgeons also enjoy quoting from them during teaching rounds or conferences, while others embrace them for their collective surgical wisdom.

Now, with Dr. Schein drifting towards retirement, The Little Book of Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon is the final book in this international bestselling series. The quotes and aphorisms in this book have been gathered since the publication of the last two books in the series and retrieved from multiple sources, including journals, books, lectures, and surgical friends around the world.

The decision to include any entry in the book is based on Dr. Schein’s personal taste. Some may question the wisdom or accuracy of individual entries, while others may not appreciate the humor or may object to political incorrectness. Nevertheless, Dr. Schein hopes that most readers, especially younger surgeons, will discover that surgical truth is old and that what they think is a novel idea has been said before. He also hopes that the book will contribute to their humanity and humility, add maturity to their surgical personality and practice, and increase their sense of surgical humor.
