Lyons. I went straight to his mother-in-law. Jane Sprague first met Lyons when he was a young boy. “He was in my husband’s Scout troop. Sprague said, before adding similar difficult-to-bclicve details. “He and our son got their Eagle Scout together.... He was a quiet, reserved young man. Mrs. Sprague was a tough nut toerack. but I kept heron the phone and used my best reportorial skills to get the skinny on Lyons. With perhaps a note of frustration in her voice, Sprague recalled going to help out when her granddaughter Devin was bom. She said Lyons was up before her every morning. By the time she awoke, the clothes were washed and breakfast was made. He insisted on doing all the cooking! Sprague said. He’s the most organized person I’ve ever known. He doesn’t waste a minute. Clearly Lyons had this kindly old woman snowed. Perhaps we should start at the beginning. Paul Eric Lyons was born in Medina. Ohio, because the town his parents were living in at the time didn’t have a hospital. He moved to Madison. Ohio, at age 2. and then to Delaware, Ohio, at age 10. My wife says I should point out that having not yet actually grown up. 1 should probably include all the other locations I have lived, but 1 said Neener. necncr'and left u at that. Lyons added. It was in Delaware, Ohio, that Lyons, the son of a United Methodist minister and a teacher, met Ins future wife. “You know the story: Boy meets girl. Girl screams and then runs. Years later in a semi-intoxicated state boy spills pretzels on gill, screams over the music (which mysteriously stops mid-sentence) ‘Would you like to go out sometime?' Love ensues.” This addled pretzel-spilling moment occurred just before Lyons started medical school. They married Oct. 16. I9XX. Wanting to get the skinny on this allegedly organized Eagle Scout, I turned to known associates Sydney and Jascy Schnaars. They have known Lyons since he joined their youth group 33 years ago. Sydney Schnaars. a middle school American History teacher, recalled Lyons engaging in many questionable activities with his close friend Chris I louser. “They were both unbelievably bright. Schnaars said. “They did not enjoy the high school experience. They probably thought they were in hell. She said they found various outlets for their creativity, including amateur taxidermy on a roadkill groundhog. The groundhog in question was discovered on the windshield of a fellow high school student’s car in the student parking lot. Lyons said, adding that the taxidermy training came from a high school biolog} teacher. The teacher retired shortly thereafter, but no connection was ever proven and I remain a free man. Lyons claimed. The groundhog in advertently found its way into the stomach of a now-dcccased Lyons-familv dog. He was an awesome member of our youth group. Schnaars said “When he was at Ohio State University medical school, he taught Sun- 4 Pomple University School of Medicine day school with my husband [Jascy Schnaars|, which was funny because he |Lyons| haled Sunday school.” She added that it wasn’t only Lyons who hated Sunday school, but also Iter husband The two Sunday school teachers sought to make the experience more palatable for the kids they taught, as well as for themselves. “They’d take the group golfing on Sundays before Sunday school Jascy Schnaars added. Some of the kids had never played golf.” The two men decided to make the game a bit more interesting by adding an additional clement of chance. You'd roll dice to see w hich club you'd use. Mr. Schnaars. a high school Lnglish teacher, said that Lyons is an excellent Ultimate Frisbee player, a decent golfer, and was once an avid Dungeons Dragons player with a group that included his fellow amateur taxidermist. Chris Houser. Medical school did not kill the iconoclast in Lyons. As a mod student. he was invited to speak at his high school's National Honor Society induction Mr. Schnaars recalled that Lyons said. The people wc should be honoring are the ones who have to bust their butts to get C’s. While many of the students cheered, a group of parents and teachers were irate. Rumors about Lyons abound. He is an alleged poet. (In fact he's published in the Mandrake Poetry Review. Cider Press Review. Barbaric Yawp. etc.). He is believed to have hitchhiked to Alaska w ith best friend Chris Houser. (He actually admitted to this one.) Houser added by e-mail. “We had fairly clear plans. ... Wc would hitchhike from Berkeley where 1 was in school to Valdez and work the salmon season. Paul had worked there the year before.” There w as a 1.000-milc ferry ride from Seattle to Haines. Alaska, where they became stranded with several other hitchhikers. “Somehow a resident of Haines was recruited to drive the remaining folks to Canada for a fee. Houser said. They eventually ended up shivering in the back of a pick-up truck for the final five hours to Valdez. The rest of the summer was fairly routine, pulling the guts out of dead fish for 12-20 hours a day. except for the time our backpacking stove exploded. 2005 Sku! 15 Lyons supposedly commuted from NYC to TUSM even day for five lone years (this is true), until he finally bought a house near Manayunk. He purportedly has a lifetime ban from the Rutherford B. Hayes High School library (his alma mater), for which Lyons simply explained. It was a complete frame-up for which I deny any and all responsibility except perhaps for refusing to stop talking, refusing to stop talking about not talking ... and refusing to stop talking about refusing to excuse myself from the library. Lyons is even rumored to have been found sitting in a lawn chair as he “supervised his youth group's community service project. ... This is precisely the problem with this Lyons character: Just when you think you’ve dug up some dirt on him. it turns out that it was part of a church youth group activity. This is a man who says with complete sincerity that he loves his job. that he loves going to work every day, and that he couldn’t imagine a better life for himself. IllIMBLY.SI BMirn-A) BY STi: 'EN BUSSELEN. Ml) Selecting Dr. Lyons as the 2005 Skull Yearbook IX'dicatec was a given for many senior medical students. Jovcncl Chcrcnfant had this to add about Dr. Lyons. Among his many admirable traits, the most striking thing about Dr. Lyons is his ability to not make a student feel stupid. He can turn any idiotic statement made by a student into a thought-provoking idea. I guess he does that in order to alleviate the stress and fear that most students experience during teaching sessions. It seems that he never forgets what it is like to be student. He is not just a clinician, he is .1 true pedagogue. The profession needs more people like him.” Janine Chen mentioned that she selected Dr. Lyons because he is a great mentor. She also added. It didn't matter what Specialty I w.is interested in. II I was confused about my career path, he always patiently listened to my concerns and set aside time from his hectic schedule. Another student added that Dr Lyons has been an outstanding clinical educator who has played a pivotal role in the lives of many students. He is always a student advocate and is always ready to teach...He is a favorite among his patients and a favorite among students. He is a multi-talented person with numerous hats. He’s m the family medicine clinic, goes to deliver babies in OB. spends time as an internal medicine attending and also sees teens in Temple Children's Hospital. He also has served an advisor to numerous clubs and is one of the primary attendings in the Temple Cares clinic. Dr. Lyons is the full package. Devin and Daddy! Dr. Paul E. Lyons, we the (lass of2005 salute you. Year after year you continue to show students at Temple the real meaning of being a clinician, a physician, a teacher, a role model, and a heater not only by your words, hut by your actions and your heart. The Skull 2005 Yearbook Staff counts it an honor to dedicate this yearbook to you. 6 femple University 'School of Medicine the joys of fatherhood the apples of Paul Lyons' eyes: Dylan Devin - Like father, like son Dr. Lyons with his father at the Madison Marathon Man's best friend.

The Senior Class chooses four individuals to assist with the placement of hoods on each of the members of the graduating class - These distinguished members of the Temple University School of Medicine Faculty were selected not onli) for their superior quality of teaching, but for their compassion, hard work, and dedication to patient care and the practice of medicine. Each hooder has committed themselves to challenging the minds of medical students and encouraging future doctors to be the best that they can be. Continuing the tradition... The graduation hood each student receives is a relic from medieval times which remains as a great tradition in present day academia. The hoods sillcen lining is the color of the university conferring the degree and the velvet trim indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry and white. The dark green represents medicine. 8 Temple University School of Medicine Dr. Carson Schneck Dr. Gerald Sterling But nettling a mere eBmabte ttian a phyucian who.

M IX and John Stone. M IX 2005 Skull 19 The class of2005 entered Temple University School of Medicine from all different corners of the United States and world. With a myriad of backgrounds and experiences, we sat in Kresge A with similar hopes, fears and expectations. We are cyclists, teachers, musicians, pharmacists, mothers, fathers, fresh college graduates, and non-traditional students. With the differences we could list about one another we were all medical students...entering a fellowship of sorts that would prepare us to become the healthcare leaders of the future. As a group, we were the same as many classes of medical students before us. but we were also unique in many ways. We were the first class to have a White Coat Ceremony. We were also one of the largest classes in Temple history...there were no vacancies to say the least. Experiencing a temporary state of probationary accreditation by the LCMEfor inadequate facilities is one memory many of us will not forget. Finding study spaces at Kresge was also a challenge at times. We laughed together, cried together, and vented together about unfair test questions and exams. We studied for Step together, went to the truck together and out to celebrate together. We formed tight knit bonds with many people that shared similar last names and we found life-long friends in individuals we thought we had nothing in common with. We conquered the rigors of medical school.. ..we finally made it. As we approach the time to shed our short white jackets for the long white coats and as we make plans to go our separate ways, let's remember what these past four years have meant, the unforgettable memories and friendships. 20 Temple• University School of Medicine m Temple University Hospital Temple University Health System General Consent for Medical Education ( onsent for Medical Education: Consent is given to Temple University School of Medicine (herein known as SCHOOL), to administer medical knowledge in the form of didactic lecture sessions, small group discussions. laboratory sessions, examinations, quizzes, and informal teaching sessions that may or may not occur spontaneously at various locations throughout Temple University Hospital.

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day’s work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition. The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today’s work superbl well.

So wanted to write this thank you to say just that. Thank you for being therefor me when I needed you. When I - finally -learned to start asking for help and before that, when you helped without me asking, or worse, with me telling you stubbornly that I didn't need it You have helped share the burden of my disappointments and helped me celebrate my successes. And I want you to know that even if I didn't always say it. I did appreciate it. As this phase of my life comes to a close, a new door will be opened: complete with new adventures, challenges, good days and bad days. It give me comfort and confidence knowing that you will be behind me. rooting for me. as you have always done. If these past four years have reinforced anything, it is how important all of you are to me. and how with your love and support, everything is possible.

My mentors have included people I’ve worked with which had the combination of bedside manners, knowledge, and clinical skills to make a difficult diagnosis. When Medicine didn't provide the answer, these physicians still made the patient feel as if they were well taken care of by their actions. These physicians have come from internal medicine, a specialty where there are many such individuals. .. was most attracted and motivated by the internal medicine physicians at the hospital. I had the opportunity to he involved in a very unique case involving a woman who presented with altered mental status and anemia The middle-aged woman had a psychiatric medical history and was taking multiple psychiatric medications. Although there were many confounding variables, the internist was able to make the unlikely diagnosis of lead poisoning After the diagnosis was established, we collaborated in order to get the patient the needed treatment. The clinical skill, knowledge, and dedii ation demonstrated by this well-respected internal medicine physician in determining the etiology of the disease left a lasting impression with me. Internal Medicine includes many of the intellectual, as well as humanistic aspects of medicine that attracted many students to medical school. There are ( categories recognized by the American Board of Internal Medicine that future internists are evaluated in during their training. These are the attributes that gifted internal medicine physicians incorporate into their practice, and ones that I hope to gain throughout my training in becoming an internist. They include: 1. Clinical skills-interviewing. physical exam, procedures 2. Practice-based learning or evidence based medicine 3. Professionalism 4. Communication and interpersonal skills 5. Knowledge base 6. Building team environment or system-based practice (meaning you're responsible for everything around you. ie-if a sick patient calls your office, but isn’t triaged correctly by your nurse, you can’t just blame it on the nurse) Beyond the mentors and qualities that have made internal medicine appealing, there were my own clinical experiences that have solidified my choice of specialty. Internal medicine is one of the core-required clerkships for medical school, so everyone must rotate through the specialty. The investigative work, and sometimes exhaustive attention to detail that can be required to work-up a patient can be too much for some. But those interested in medicine have learned that the skills required in internal medicine, and properly applied, can lead to being satisfied intellectually, professionally, and personally. Some rewards include recognizing a condition that hasn’t been diagnosed for a patient yet, or providing the proper management for a poorly controlled illness, as well as hope for the future. Further rewards include those that come by working with people, which is what separates medicine in general from other scientific careers. In the end. our achievements as internists can make people feel better. This is never more apparent than when a grateful patient thanks us and brightens our day for a job well done. 226 Temple University School of Medicine the adult doctors” above: Teaching...'Temple style.

They possess unique medical and social issues that deserve special attention. Hence you have the field of pediatrics. At first glimpse, some might call caring for kids with runny noses, cough, fever, and diarrhea the field of pediatrics. However, the field is more than just diagnosing, and treating infections or injuries. Pediatrics is a highly flexible specialty that encompasses the social, emotional and physical health of infants, children, and adolescents up to the age of 21. Pediatricians appreciate the vulnerability of childhood and adolescence, and avidly advocate for measures that provide access to health care and safe environments for kids to grow. In the process of caring, a pediatrician discovers the joy and pleasure to hold a patient in their amis and watch a child blossom into a mature adult. The choice to care for children should be based on a love for babies and teens, commitment to middle of the night calls and missing family occasions when kids are sick on holidays or weekends. and a lifetime of learning to provide comprehensive care, as well as a belief that it is a significant accomplishment to make a difference in a child’s life. Lastly, a pediatrician must realize that they can not just stop at treating their young patients...they must also minister to the needs of the parents. Is pediatrics worth the four years of undergraduate studies, four years of medical school, and three years of residency? Yes, it is a privilege and honor to play a vital role in the well being of children. Kamali Bouvay. M.D. Eunice Blackmon.

My clinical clerkships provided me with an insight into the type of person I am. Each rotation presented challenges that brought forth various strengths of my personality. In psychiatry. I was able to use my communication skills to assess the root of each disorder, but it lacked the hands-on approach I so desired. Internal medicine provided the environment to nourish my want for know ledge and reasoning. These same traits also translated into pediatrics, w ith the added benefits of being able to manage an assortment of developmental disorders in children. Surgery, however. w as the embodiment of medicine to me. to w itness firsthand the magnificent bio-machinery of the human body. My choice is in part due to some of the surgeons 1 have worked with. By being granted the opportunity to resect a gallbladder with a scope or suture close a semi-severed finger, my path was more assured in comparison to my peers w hose highlights were being able to retract a liver for 10 hours without requiring a meal nor a urinal.

Surgeons are trained, not horn... Facility with knot-tying and sewing is handy, but does not make one a good surgeon; in fact some of the most wise and revered surgeons in practice were not known for their dexterity when they were medical students. The surgical specialty is appealing in more than one aspect; it is both an art and a science that encompasses invasive procedures. Additionally. it is both intellectually and physically demanding and therefore requires endurance. I like to be part of the surgical enterprise in that 1 look forward to opportunities to go to the operating room as much as I enjoy postoperative care of patients. Another interesting dimension is that surgery provides an immediate gratification such as watching patients improve daily after major injuries or surgical procedures. I feel intrigued by the challenge of managing multiple physiological and psychological problems in critically ill surgical patients. I always enjoyed the excitement of my surgical team anticipating a “great case” as well as the flexibility and the unpredictability of a surgeon’s day. Being a surgeon means being comfortable accepting the responsibility ot a role as leader of a team. Surgery encompasses making quick decisions and judgments, sometimes with incomplete data. Motivating the team and facilitating their best efforts are skills learned in surgical training programs. but at the core surgeons must be able to accept responsibility. The surgical culture is one of continuous improvement. using the public forum of morbidity and mortality conferences to tell the stories of bad outcomes in hopes that they may be avoided in the future. There are some rewards to being a surgeon that are powerful and unique to surgical fields. Surgeons are able to test their hypotheses and see rapid, graphic results from their work. It is immensely satisfying to completely excise a cancer, convert a cold and bluish ischemic limb to one that is warm and pink, relieve the pain of an intra-abdominal catastrophe, or help a scarred patient gain better appearance and function. The field of surgery needs a rich variety of motivated medical students to enter surgical training to continue this good work, as well as innovate and explore new directions. Good dexterity and excellent eye-hand coordination are certainly important, but more important are intelligence, creativity, courage, compassion and perseverance on behalf of patients. So. a good surgeon is a well-rounded physician. By: LucTchapnda. M.D. :!005 Skull 231 One who wears many hal Family Medicine Room I: 26 wk pregnant mother w ith persistent nausea.

More importantly, the approach to patient care from a psychosocial standpoint enables the family physician to wear many hats - psychiatrist, detective, or just a friendly ear.

Because we deal exclusively with women, providing care throughout her complete life cycle. For that reason, we play a critical role as a life long health care provider that fosters long term relationships. We not only serve to improve the reproductive health of young women but we are dedicated to providing well rounded thoughtful care. The diversity in the practice of OB GYN provides one with many career paths from which to choose such as clinical, academic and research. OB is unique and exciting in that there is a developing individual in utero. Therefore, you are caring for two patients at the same time. In addition, we care for women whose pregnancies require special care and monitoring. OB GYN is an area where one can see beneficial treatment results. OB GYN is also a bridge between medicine and surgery. There are many new advanced techniques in areas such as laparoscopic surgeries, ultrasound technology, and assisted reproductive technology. I enjoy OB GYN because it’s a “hands-on” procedure driven specialty: it is stimulating and fun to connect with the patients. OB is both socially involved and exciting at the same time. Many of the areas governed by OB GYN keep the specialty in the news and fosters debate across the entire socioeconomic spectrum.

The art is reflected in understanding the person not merely as a “diagnosis”, but as a multifaceted, evolving, and receptive individual. Appreciating the person within social, biological, and interpersonal frameworks is absolutely essential in helping to ameliorate suffering from their life. “After all, there is nothing in the world as interesting as people, and one can never study them enough.” Vincent van Gogh April Ladavac, MD 236 Temple University Seh x l of Medicine the sky's the limit... this rooftop spot was a popular lunch spot for students who rotated at Episcopal Dr. Wcisman (Director of CRC), Solange (resident), and Dr. Zitek Crisis Response Team (a Episcopal 2005 Sku. 237 With third year under our belts, we returned to Temph refreshed from our short summer break, ready to take on ne clinical challenges, preparing to tackle both the clinical knowledge and clinical skills portions of Step 2, and eager to answer the burning question... 238 tempi - University School of Medicine What hind of doctor will I become? 2005 Sku 239 2005 Skuli 241 STUDENT GOVERNMENT STUDENT GROUP LEADERS MEMBERS: Medical school is a lot more than just books, quizzes, and studying for exams. For many, medical school was an extension of the desire to serve humanity. Greeted w ith an assortment of tables w ith groups broadcasting their missions and goals, we strolled through the student group fair during first year orientation, signing up for the groups that interested us or the ones that seemed to be about something . Some of us became leaders of these very same groups, sacrificing study and personal time to organize health fairs, tutoring sessions for kids, running the Temple Cares Clinic on 16th. and finding a w ay to bring in speakers to deliver lunch time talks. And don't forget about how many of you used to work your small budgets to find a way to pay for the pizza hoagies to lure your classmates to lunchtime talks w ith the hopes that they would stay, listen, and learn to broaden their minds. Being a student group leader and member were often thankless jobs. But the activism and involvement of student groups are an integral part of the Temple Legacy. Be proud that you were involved in giving back to the surrounding community, be proud that your groups and programs served as ambassadors to the community. Your commitment to serve is honorable and although it is not always said, know that your works were and are appreciated. “I've been a member of STUCO for four years, and an officer for two. STUCO exists to enable student organizations to hold activities, as well as to hold activities of its own. The 42 member organizations have community service projects, as well as social, educational, cultural, and religious activities. STUCO is not glamorous. Officers do not have offices to meet in. When STUCO members unanimously vote to engage in an activity, the planning usually falls to a committee of one or two members. But this is understandable, because medical students are busy vs ith the business of learning to be doctors. STUCO docs not have much of a budget. The treasury consists of about SI 2 per medical student. But STUCO does have a constitution, which is usually followed. Furthermore, there are committees. Sometimes there are so many committees, members can’t figure out which committee they’re volunteering for. But at the end of each academic year, the sometimes Byzantine STUCO comes to an end: this is because from May to September STUCO has no money, no meetings, and usually no activities. STUCO has the drudgery of a legislative body, but without being saddled with much of that pesky power that most legislatures have.” Steven Busselen Secretary 2003-2005 Temple SOM Student Council “I have also been a member of STUCO for 4 years. Early during first year I knew that I had to gel involved in the community. SNMA and Big Friends were my primary outlets. Being involved with community programming reminded me why I was putting myself through the rigors of medical school. A smile on a child’s face w as a tangible reward that I looked forward to each day. Becoming a part of the leadership of student council was a natural progression for me. 1 knew first hand the difficulties student groups faced w ith funding and other issues. I wanted to lend my voice and my energies to the efforts of making student service projects and programming central in STUCO's mission. 1 also wanted to work to increase the administrative support that student groups desperately needed. This term for me has not been an easy one. I have had personal and professional struggles from which I have had to learn and grow. I hope that I am the better for it. And even though I may not see the fruits of my labor. I hope that I have made some sort of a difference here. If I have helped at least one person then this has not all been in vain. It has been a privilege to serve my fellow students as a council officer. I hope that I have served you well. Angel Wilson Vice President 2003-04 President 2004-05 Temple SOM Student Council 242 Temple University School of Medicine “The opening quote of the On Doctoring” hook that we received during our w hite coat ceremony reads “One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient. The richest memories that I have of the past four years, and of the past two as president, involve the times w hen you carried out the meaning of these words with your lives. I look hack on four years of exams, hours locked in fourth Hour modules, and money sacrificed to Borders coffee to fuel an impending cramming marathon. But more salient in my mind are memories of my class bridging the gap. mentoring at nearby schools, singing at the children's hospital, raising funds for charities, emailing home the eye-opening experiences of a rotation in Africa. South America... My best memories foreshadow the success of your futures. Thank you for these lessons, and for the chance to help you realize some of these goals over the past two years. Thank you to Roy. Bill. Stephanie, Alice, and Brian for your efforts, w ork, guidance and vision. My highest w ish for you. Class of 2005. is that you continue what you have begun here at Temple. Continue to accept the role of the physician as a calling rather than a job.

Officers are placed with responsibilities to organize events, attend meetings, and facilitate communication, which are often thankless responsibilities. I have never really held any position where I was elected by my peers, and so it is quite an honor to know that my classmates like me and have confidence in my abilities. I have always taken my position seriously and hope that I have served my classmates well over the years. I wish everyone the best of luck in their future careers as physicians.” Roy Rajan Class of 2005 Representative “...being a class officer i often felt more like a cheerleader, jolting this class of workaholic-stressaholics w as really difficult sometimes, at times, we needed to bribe them w ith booze and hot dates to have them turn out for an event, in the end we always had a good time be it auctioning each other off for the benefit of the leukemia and lymphoma society or sending holiday wishes to those less fortunate, however, if being a class officer only meant meeting roy. hill, bemadette. alice and brian...then it was enough for me! they all are amazingly thoughtful and giving people that i was honored to work with and know, my wittiness escapes me at present as i sit in an internet cafe in costa rica desperately try ing to learn medical Spanish...however, my goal is not to regret anything in life and i'd he a class officer all over again!

In the heart of North Philly. Temple sits amongst an area ridden with the woes of urban life. Poverty, substance abuse, high illiteracy rales...and the list goes on. But despite what one could say about the surrounding 'hood, the people of this community served as some of our best teachers when we started working at TUI I. Many of us spent countless hours serving the community through tutoring, health fairs, needle exchange programs and more. I like to think of this as our small way of showing them our appreciation for allowing us to partiepate in their care. 200S Ski i 245 Allhough we come from different backgrounds, the Class of 2005 shares one common bond: a passion for community service. From Big Friends to Temple Cares to the annual Kenderton Health Fair. Temple medical students have consistently shown a commitment to help the disadvantaged population of North Philadelphia. As much as our “patients” have benefited from our services, we have come to realize the true psychosocial issues that cripple the poor not only in Philadelphia, but also in cities across the nation.

I can safely say for the staff that we didn't know what in the world we had gotten ourselves into when we volunteered to produce this yearbook! There have been numerous struggles, trying to come up with page layouts, figuring out how in the world to use our software, wondering why it is so hard for people to get things in on time:) and trying to understand why it is so hard to get faculty pictures. But despite the late, late nights and the long, long days it was worth it. The opportunity to glance into your lives was priceless. I feel privileged to have been able to look at your precious memories through pictures and read your heartfelt messages to your family and friends. And although I continue to count down the days until GRADUATION, a part of me is sad....for I have met some of the most wonderful people here at Temple. Friendships and connections have been made that I pray last a lifetime...We know this book is not perfect but please know that we tried our best to capture some of the moments we have shared these past four years....and as we go our separate ways I would like to encourage you all to remember that there is no greater calling than to be a servant, and that as physicians our primary role should be to serve our patients as selflessly as we can. - angel KAMALL Girl, what would I have done without you?
