Before the musings about left-handed surgeons begins, I have a significant disclosure to make: I am left-handed. This was just confirmed by the 1971 Edinburgh Handedness Inventory which puts me in the worst-possible 10th decile of the left laterality index. While there is an undeniable conflict-of-interest in having a lefty write an article on left-handed surgeons, the topic is not often discussed, so I aim to rally up the left-handed base while informing righties about our peculiar ways. The SInistral Surgeon.

Inspired by this AskMe with links to additional articles about left-handed surgeons.
