A Stones Throw

I watched two lumpectomies, a knee scope, and two cholecystectomies today.

Wow.

I am amazed at what we, humans, have accomplished in the few short years we have been moving about on this planet.  The surgeon literally pulled a patient's stone filled gallbladder through a tiny incision in the abdomen; threaded a drainage tube through another tiny hole and out another; I shook my head in wonder.  

Really something else...
