If Surgeons Were Buildings

If Surgeons Were Buildings is not a book for the ordinary. It is for those who delight in secrets—the hidden scaffolding beneath the surgeon's mask, the quiet poetry of a well-placed incision, the architecture of ambition disguised as mad skill. In these pages, each surgical specialty is stripped of its scrubs and redressed in steel, stone, and style. The premise is simple: It unveils the strange and sublime intersection of surgery and architecture. one designs with steel and stone, the other with scalpel and bone—but beneath the surface, they operate with astonishing similarity. Both know rules but only to break them. Both worship clean lines and curse structural failure. And both, at their most transcendent, are acts of art masquerading as science. Across these pages, you will tour many surgical personalities, each guided by an architectural style that mirrors it like a warped funhouse reflection. Penned by a plastic surgeon with the mind of an architect and the mischief of a cartographer mapping strange lands, this book is equal parts satire, philosophy, and subversive sketch. If you're a surgeon, you may find your reflection... unsettling. If you're an architect, you'll feel a strange kinship with the scalpel-wielding elite. And if you're simply a curious reader—fond of metaphors, wit, and a hint of madness—then you, my friend, are exactly where you belong.
