Narrative: What was your most memorable moment from medical school? It was all memorable. What highlights have you experienced since graduating in 1970? I have had a great career in academic medicine, remaining a dinosaur teaching, seeing patients, and doing research. How have you changed since medical school? Thankfully, I am still a student and always will be. If so inclined, please feel free to share your passions, family stories, life experiences or even simple words of wisdom. Today’s dogma is tomorrow’s dog poop.
