About this Quote

This quote by Harvey Cushing talks to the value of the psychological elements of being a cosmetic surgeon. Cushing is suggesting that the physical act of surgical treatment is only a small part of the work of a cosmetic surgeon. He thinks that the psychological aspects of being a cosmetic surgeon, such as comprehending the client's condition, making a diagnosis, and developing a treatment strategy, are far more crucial than the physical act of surgery. Cushing is recommending that a surgeon ought to be evaluated on their mental abilities, rather than their physical capabilities. He is promoting for a more holistic approach to the practice of medicine, where the mental and emotional aspects of a patient's care are provided equivalent weight to the physical. Cushing's quote is a suggestion that the practice of medicine is more than simply a physical act, which the psychological and emotional aspects of a client's care are just as important.
