“Are you going tonight to hear Dr. Daily of Eastern Hospital speak? You really should, you know. You can learn a lot from seeing him. He is a very distinguished surgeon—one of the most creative surgeons in America. You can learn a lot from seeing him. You know, he has never trained anyone of prominence. And in academic surgery that is what counts most—whom you have trained. Long after your research is forgotten and your papers are outdated, people will remember you by whom you have trained. And Daily has trained no one—at Eastern—where he gets the pick of the top talent. You know why? He can’t work with residents. He has to compete with them. He has to dominate them. And he winds up crushing them. Go hear him talk. He can tell you a lot about surgery.”
