"...attending surgeons say that whats more important to them is finding people who are conscientious, industrious and boneheaded enough to stick at practising this one difficult thing day and night for years on end...And in the end, that matters more.
Skill, surgeons believe, can be taught; tenacity cannot."
From, Complications by Atul Gawande.
(Penguin Books, 2002)
