He made me promise not to use his name because he was afraid he might be blacklisted by the foundation which pays his salary. “ L ik e a lo t o f young d o c to rs ," he said, " I c o u ld n 't get used to s ittin g by w h ile a p a tie n t died s im p ly because I d id n ’ t know a n y th in g else I could do fo r h im .

To co m p lic a te things, m ost foundations w on’t give you a fe llo w sh ip unless you f ir s t have a Job. In a d dition, I t ’ s alm ost im p ossib le to get a g ra n t u n til yo u 've published a c e r ta in nu m b e r of s c ie n tific papers and, o f course, you can’t publish such papers u n til you’ ve w orked in a la b o ra to ry and had a chance to do research w o rth w r itin g about.

N old man sat one evening by his door, His face was tranquil, in his eyes was peace, His hands were Still, his long life work was done, He had a look about him o f release. "IIO W LO NG d id you w o rk fo r fre e ?

"Y o u could have earned m ore washing dishe s." And 1, w ho needed much to learn the things That he had learned, sat down beside him there O n the low doorstep in the scented dusk, He smiled his gentle smile, he touched my hair, He said My child, 1, too, was reft less once, I, too, was hurt by life, and blind and dum b I groped my way, then a wise one said these words If you are quiet, so will help come Twas an old folk saying from an old loved land. I listened to its teaching, listened long, And learned its secret He who truSts in God, And who goes quietly, he will grow Strong.” "W'e managed Io gel by," ¡aid the medico, "b u t the fo llo w in g year my w ife had a baby and had Io q u it her job.
