Sandra Sabatini, M.D. Ph.D. Sinn Anuras, M.D. Professor As a freshman | really didn’t know what to write about the internal medicine faculty. | tried asking sophomores, juniors, seniors, and even residents ... nobody could come up with any anecdotes, stories or lymrics. As a matter of fact, the only words that came to peoples’ minds were ‘pain, misery and misfortune.” My class then moved to the topic of renal physiology, found out about pain, misery and misfortune as only Dr. Kurtzman can do. He is the only lecturer we had that could get a ‘sympathetic reaction” from us. Some even went into shock. Once one gets use to Kurtzmans’ style, it is only the material that is imtimidating. As for the other faculty members that | have come to know, they » : Davor Vugrin, M.D. Professor Bruce M. Wimer, M.D. Associate Professor have put me into a negative salt balance. Through these people | can see that there is an ominous amount of material that one must learn to be in internal medicine. A student has to ask himself, ‘how did they get so smart?”
