There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one. 36,it is not enough for me.
Charles Mayo was not a 37 of mine in the sense that he would 38 by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation.We were not that 39,for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California.He was a friend in the sense that he 40 more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor.
I got very close to him just once.More 41,he got very close to me.I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious 42 in my back.It turned around, 43for a clinic nearby and got in 44 with Dr Jan,my doctor.Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the 45 doctor I had ever met.“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it.How can I 46have appendicitis?”
“If you want to 47 better as quickly as possible,we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you.”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 48 to Jan’s request.
Charles was washing his hands when I was 49into the operation room.I said,my
50 shaking,“You have done this before,haven’t you?”
“Of course,”he said.“Twice.”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor.He faced 51 often enough to know that while it is final in a sense,it is not 52 final at all.He enjoyed 53too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now.
54 he died on July 29,1968,at the age of seventy,following an accident,he lived on in the 55of his books.I am glad he wrote them,giving people the feeling that we still have him.

But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”
