Certainly when I got to medical school, I had role models of the kind of physicians I wanted to be. I had an uncle who, looking back, was probably not the most-educated physician around, but he carried it off so well.

I entered Harvard Medical School knowing nothing of research.

Medical school education and post graduate education emphasize thoroughness.

When I went to medical school, the term 'digital' applied only to rectal exams.
