Dr. Silas Thorncroft · Salvador, Brazil

In Salvador they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, the Salvador chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and McSkunkville keeps a porch light on for Salvador.

Dr. Thorncroft draws every operation on a napkin before he performs it, because 'a patient who understands the map fears the journey less.' His napkin drawings hang framed in the recovery ward.

He has never once said 'don't worry.' He says 'here is exactly what I will do,' and somehow that cures the worry first.

OR motto, taped inside every scrub cabinet: SLOW IS SMOOTH. SMOOTH IS HEALED.

Worldwide Access — Dr. Silas Thorncroft greets readers in Salvador and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
