one year of arm stuff – part 4 – peripheral nerves?

So neurology covers the brain and nervous system, right? And the brain and spine are the central nervous system, so the limbs etc are the peripheral nervous system. A peripheral nerve surgeon is not a brain surgeon – in my experience they are more likely to be a plastic surgeon, a term that encompasses an enormous amount of lifesaving medicine despite what television may have taught you.
