[Comment] Making medicine bespoke

A few years ago a chance meeting with Joshua, a bespoke tailor from London's Savile Row, made me question what I thought I knew about medicine. At one stage in my career during the 1980s, I was a trauma surgeon, operating on patients with stab and gunshot wounds in Johannesburg's Soweto township in South Africa. I did a lot of sewing then—bowel resections, vascular anastomoses, repairs, and reconstructions—and I thought I was good at it. As I watched Joshua sewing a sleeve onto a jacket decades later, that experience came flooding back, although it was years since I did major surgery.
