1． 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， 43 for 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 46 have appendicitis?”
