Hardly. I did a helluva lot of surgery as a medical student
in the '70s. Under supervision, of course, and I never did get
the knack of performing an efficient one-handed suture tie.
It was enough to cure me of a desire to follow in the foot-
steps of Hawkeye Pierce. I think the questioner is more
properly desirous of finding a surgical residency teaching
service, most of which will accept charity patients.

That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet.
The only question is: how do we arm the other eleven?
