Dr. Edgerton H. Hart was born in China to missionary parents, was

hospitals his father, Virgil Hart built in Wuhu, on the Yangtze
River. His medical skills were highly regarded by both the Chinese

a rush day in surgery had allowed only a glance at the letter, but

gown and entered the room where an operation was already under way.
I moved silently to my station and after a few moments, the chief
surgeon, alert always to the personnel and efficiency of his
assistants, looked up. He said teasingly, "So the little red-headed

had seen a vision. Just when and where are you going?"
