This paper traces the career and achievements of Sir Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop, not least that he forgave his Japanese captors. It examines the problem of forgiveness and the reconciliation that forgiveness permits, and considers the application of these considerations to three problems faced by surgeons: the problem of litigious patients; the problem of managerial overgrowth; and the problem of political ignorance.
