What each of us can learn from "the Dextrous Surgeon"
•Living tissue is immensely complex, and many spiritual traditions have provided profound insights as to what occurs when one engages in an art that interfaces with them. The art of surgery for instance is elegantly synopsized by a Chinese classic.
•When performing surgery, radically improves outcomes are attained as one becomes more and more able to directly connect with the body and understands precisely where to separate the tissue.
•Modern surgery has been overrun with new technologies (e.g. electrocautery and robotic surgery) that have been effectively marketed by their manufacturers. Unfortunately, these devices disconnect the surgeon from their patient.
•This loss of connection in the newer generations of surgeons has led to worsened patients outcomes and an inability to deal with challenging situations. Unfortunately, since the new generation has redefined surgical success to conceal their inadequacies, members of the public often have no guidance on how to find the most qualified surgeon for their case.
