This is extraordinarily well written. Deep without being verbose. I thought I’d just peek at the link but it sucked me in.

This is a very long and well written article. One fact I'd like to highlight is that the liver can regrow to the same size quite quickly if you choose to be a living liver donor.

As a living liver donor myself, I think it is not exactly the same size, it is more like the functionally healthy state and the liver remains a bit smaller than the original size AFAIK.

Surgeons had long learned sewing skills from their mothers, sisters, and wives. But in 1901, surgical trainee Alexis Carrel’s mother sent him to someone more gifted, Marie-Ann Leroudier, embroideress of Paris’s high society
I'm curious how important agility with hands are for modern surgeons compared to anatomy and medical knowledge in general. What makes a "great surgeon" today?
