"Every suture placed actually requires an exact amount of tension, which can be different with every suture placed.  In other words, precision is an absolute requirement."

"Surgical knot tying is a priceless skill that needs mastered BEFORE you’re elbows deep in the OR.  Once you’re in surgery with your supervising physician/surgeon breathing down your neck, you either have the skills or you don’t. "
