Dedication Blase Anthony Carabello, M.D. Blase Carabello was visibly pleased and touched upon hearing of his selection for the SKULL '84 dedication. When we met for lunch, he asked — obviously unimpressed with his above listed credentials - why this student thought we'd chosen him— and then proceeded to demonstrate the answers He began by asking about my career plans, not perfunctorily, but with real interest, which did not wane when I named a field outside Internal Medicine. On our way to Fisher's, a medical resident obtained a quick curbside consult”, and once inside. I. usually timid with professors of similar rank, yielded to temptation and asked for his thoughts on an unusual case that I had seen on an earlier rotation. Blase (one quickly feels more comfortable with this than his formal title) didn't mind. He says he's accustomed to students and residents approaching him more casually than they do other faculty members I acknowledge a consensus among my classmates that, despite our admiration of him, we feel we can ask him questions with less fear of being judged negatively than is sometimes the case. BLASE ANTHONY CARABELLO 1969 B.A. Gettysburg College 1973 M.D. Temple University, cum laude 1973-1976 Residency in Medicine Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School 1976-1978 Fellow m Cardiology Peter Bent Brigham Hospital Harvard Medical School 1978-1979 Cardiologist Peter Bent Brigham Hospital 1979-1981 Assistant Professor of Medicine University of Virginia Hospital Charlottesville 1981- Director of Diagnostic Cardiology Associate Professor of Medicine Associate Professor of Physiology Temple University School of Medicine Dr. Carabello then began to describe his feelings about teaching. He has a great sense of debt and gratitude regarding all those who taught him. the most important source of his knowledge. In turn, he believes he owes his students the best teaching possible. Thus, when Blase is floor attending , it takes precedence over all other obligations. Where I 'grew up'” he says, referring to his training at MGH. they always trusted that everyone was doing their best. Blase likes to treat his own students this way. preferring to assume that mistakes are made not due to negligence but rather as an integral part of the process of learning medicine. He has also learned to expect to meet a lot of smart people in medicine, so that he's pleased and impressed rather than threatened by the student who teaches him something new. This spirit of mutual respect is apparent when he speaks of his wife Ellen, now a freshman at TUMS. he feels their marriage is the stronger for their both being happily involved in their careers. And no. he jokes, he's not threatened, as long as 4
