“René Leriche and “Philosophy of Surgery” in the light of contemporary medical ethics”
Dear CSS Colleagues:
Enclosed is a link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4379813/ and the actual article from Mark Frankle. This article is entitled René Leriche and “Philosophy of Surgery” in the light of contemporary medical ethics. This is an interesting read and I think Mark’s purpose in posting it is to recognize the craft we seek to perfect and acknowledge our failures for our patients.
“Every surgeon has a place he goes to pray
A place of bitterness and regrets where he must look for an explanation for his failures “
Rene Leriche
French surgeon from Lyon, France
