Today was the last day of our Human Structure and Function course. During the closing lecture, one of our professors, Dr. Palmer, offered this quote from Rene Descartes:
"It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well."
Dr. Palmer then told us that we might recognize the quote from the opening lecture, presented by a different instructor, Dr. Maack. Dr. Maack, it seems, felt that the quote was more critical in inspiring students to perform well in the course, whereas Dr. Palmer believes that "one should never put Descartes before the course."
And this comes only a handful of hours after my reflections on punning. Bravo, good sir.
Notes from a surgical intern who, he's been assured by his senior resident, is living the dream.
What Am I Doing?
- Just another surgical intern
