Woke up 1 hour late today, as a result I arrived 10 minutes late to the class.
It was neurology. The lecturer turned out to be a silver-haired professor, who -- just like the other neurologist -- is a brilliant person with a "character".
He was a strict person, pointed laser pointer to anyone who talked during the class, especially those who sat on front rows. I guess he is around 70 or so, but still has a good memory about the complicated neurology.
Near before the lecture ended, he gave a short message about how he want us to be. He said that he was a bad student, who usually sat on back rows. He told us to be doctors who have self-confidence but also pay a full respect to the others. We should always call elder patients with "Mr."/Mrs."/"Sir".
He also mentioned that the lecturers, the professors, even the dean are not our teachers. They are just our guide in medical school. The real teachers are our patients who will teach us in the real school: the real life.
"The most honorable teachers are the cadavers. Without them, there would not be any medical students and no medical books would have been written. They are the greatest teachers who still teach us even after they have died. Thank them."
