There can be no surgeon who is not also a physician…Where the physician is not also a surgeon he is an idol that is nothing but a painted monkey.

There can be no surgeon who is not also a physician…Where the physician is not also a surgeon he is an idol that is nothing but a painted monkey.

There can be no surgeon who is not also a physician…Where the physician is not also a surgeon he is an idol that is nothing but a painted monkey.

There can be no surgeon who is not also a physician…Where the physician is not also a surgeon he is an idol that is nothing but a painted monkey.
