"Is medical education's mission to increase the earning capacity of
the profession or is it to improve the public welfare and to
advance medical knowledge?" To answer this question, the author has
let the "great ones" of medicine's past address the reader
directly. Flexner divided MDs into two groups: those in academic
medicine and those in private practice and concluded that the two
groups are inherently at war with one another. And, Flexner
observed: without the faculty controlling patient beds, "the school
cannot even organize a clinical faculty in any proper sense of the
term." The author humorously discusses problems encountered in
pursuing these lofty goals. Stories of growing up in South
Alabama--getting a medial education--hospital work--a tour of duty
at NIH--and thirty years in the Texas Medical Center spice these
fascinating life-experiences.
