I entered the Russell-Round-Room which was packed with surgeons and physicians of MGH, among whom there was no shortage of self-esteem. I came across a handsome man, full of vigor and competence, standing still for nearly two hours in the corner of the room near the blackboard.

Despite his remarkable academic achievements, he was strikingly unassuming and serene -- features likely ingrained in his very nature.
