Reminiscences from my medical school and residency days.
A physician who was a medical student and resident in the 1930s at the Washington University School of Medicine recalls many of the remarkable professors who were recruited after Abraham Flexner had recommended a complete reorganization of the school in 1910, and who shaped the development of the school. Each of these individuals pioneered developments that shaped the research, clinical, and organizational advances of medicine in the 20th century. More than 60 years after graduation, the recollections rekindle the excitement and fun of medical education during that period.
