I was talking about this issue with Gadjo on the Word Games forum.

I was saying how much I admire top level surgeons. I know people like to moan about doctors and as such, but back when my mother had her strokes the skill and pressure that the brain surgeons we talked to, are under is amazing.

Its one of the wonderful things about humanity. The individuals ability to learn and practice such an amazingly precise procedure.
I personally cannot imagine having someone's life in my hands and opening up their skull and being so calm and precise as to be able to repair damage in said brain, yet while knowing that one wrong move will end that persons life. They then do this many times a day or week.

They are one of the best examples of what humanity is and can be. Simply incredible.
