Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgeons are a funny lot...esp this one crazy mumbling surgeon who was giving us a lecture on the principles of plastic surgery (ie the most basic stuff). he was describing the various stuff that plastic surgeons do, eg hand operations, skin grafts and flaps for burns patients or ppl with chunks of skin cut out, etc...and then he goes, "and if u have a trophy wife to maintain and private school fees to pay, u can also do cosmetic surgery"...and then...he comes up with a classic...

"Cosmetic surgery - it's psychiatry with a knife"

Struck me as being so true...for most ppl, the problem is not in their body, it's in their head...
