Clare  intelligence ...	physical contact, touch ... good surgical hands ...
Marx ... ability to talk to patients	Dame

Dame Clare Marx "First woman to be elected president of the Royal College of Surgeons who sought to root out sexism and expand surgical training ... A charismatic colleague taught her the three qualities of a successful surgeon: intelligence, good surgical hands and an ability to talk to patients."

"Marx said Picasso's Science and Charity emphasises
'the importance of physical contact' between doctor and patient."
