“外科格言与引语”集萃(一)

Every operation in surgery is an experiment in bacteriology.外科的每一次手术都是一次细菌学实验。——Berkeley Moynihan 1865—1936。As long as surgical infections exist,surgeons must make never-ending efforts to control them.It may be described as a time when science and art can absolutely prevent bacteria from gaining a foothold in the human body and can abruptly terminate their activity,if they have already become established.只要存在外科感染,外科医师控制感染的努力就永无终结。可以说,这是一个科学和技术可以绝对阻止细菌在人体立足的时代,即使它们已经人侵也可即刻令其失去活力。——Frank L Meleney,1889—1963。
