The intro for Blacknail ...
Blacknail was the closest person Dun Romanach had to a doctor. A carpenter to trade, he had crossed over into the medical profession, having discovered a talent for surgery. He first coined his motto 'Better to live with three legs than die with four', when he had operated on one of Duncan’s hounds, but as he honed his skills on human beings, the phrase still applied. From amputation to trepanation, any procedure performed with woodworking tools was well within his capabilities.
