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?”
“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
49
into 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
53
too 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
55
of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．
