Most people at their first consultation take a furtive look at the surgeon’s hands in the hope of reassurance. Prospective patients look for delicacy, sensitivity, steadiness, perhaps unblemished pallor. On this basis, Henry Perowne loses a number of cases each year. Generally, he knows it’s about to happen before the patient does: the downward glance repeated, the prepared questions beginning to falter, the overemphatic thanks during the retreat to the door.
- Other people do not communicate due to their poor observation.
- Other patients don’t like what they see but are ignorant of their right to go elsewhere.
- But Perowne himself is not concerned.
- But others will take their place, he thought.
- These hands are steady enough, but they are large.
