The Gene - An Intimate History, p. 329: Mirror Writing
Medicine, the sociologist Everett Hughes (1897-1983) once observed wryly, perceives the world through "mirror writing". Illness is used to define wellness. Abnormalcy marks the boundaries of normalcy. Deviance demarcates the limits of conformity. This mirror writing can result in an esically perverse vision of tje human body. An orthopedrist thus begins to think of bones sites of fractures; a brain, in a neurologist's imagination, is a place where memories are lost. There is an old story, probably apocryphal, of a boston surgeon who did lose his memory ad could only recall his friends by the names of the various operations he had performed on them.
