Rule No. 19: A surgical case can’t go “beautifully,” if the patient dies.

It’s a dark, surgical joke that you hear: the operation went beautifully but the patient didn't make it. This is sort of the pinnacle of surgical psychopathology: there simply is no good surgery unless the patient does well.
