You said you could tell from my hands that I used to be a surgeon. “Hand” -singular, actually. It was soft, no calluses. Also, it smelled faintly of beeswax. Many surgeons, as you know, use a beeswax cream to protect their hands from the dehydrating effects of repeated washings. You’re no longer practicing, but old habits die hard. What about my father?
