Chapter 7 : Rethinking hand and Brain

Chapter seven deals with the hand and brain - on the surgical end with Ron Tompkins. The aspects of education, memory, mentoring, and on field use of learning. Rose uses the surgeon as an example to differentiate the manner of work and education from the higher perspective on the Marxist scale of work, labor, and career. I felt this chapter didn't really work for me perhaps because of the class/career used. I id like the work Rose did w/ Tompkins, and the long term practice surgical work takes along with the education prior to the OR.
