1 00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:04,390 Press this and it will start to record and what, the twenty third debate. 2 00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:08,790 Yes. And it's Professor John Natyam and Gracie Fitzherbert Jones and Peggy Fritz. 3 00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:18,850 And we are putting Norm Gardens in Oxford. So I stick with my family is going to start it becomes a reality. 4 00:00:18,850 --> 00:00:33,660 We will turn it off. We have got five questions that I noticed, like drastic about the growth of medical school, 5 00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:39,220 the fact that they also medical school is currently very successful. One of the elements that the old timers DCX. 6 00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:43,600 And then what about women in medicine? And then what makes a good doctor? 7 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:51,030 Oh, that's right. We may or may not have be warning about it, Benevento. 8 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:55,800 Absolutely. But over several decades, you saw the medical school at Oxford grow. 9 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:04,930 Yes. And we wondered if you could tell us something about the main drivers for this growth, because it started off very small and grew a huge debate. 10 00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:09,580 Floristry from very, very small origins. 11 00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:18,180 All right. Because I came to Oxford October of 1966. 12 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:24,850 I think I should do the checking. The total repeat for most of us then was about. 13 00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:38,210 Thirty three years, not happiness. And I cast my mind back to when I left in 1954 to go to London with the concept with great respect. 14 00:01:38,210 --> 00:01:43,220 Tried to stay. It was in my head. On the whole, you didn't come here. 15 00:01:43,220 --> 00:01:50,230 I missed you. A bit of your youth married someone that want to stay in Oxford or frankly, 16 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:54,900 even if you could get into a London medical school that she wanted Gafoor ask about. 17 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,860 But this was very much not what you did and your future advanced. 18 00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:11,140 You've got to do it. And I'd say it was interesting to me that when I came, it was still supposedly something is introduced. 19 00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:19,350 But I think my first medical fir included Margaret Zeray. 20 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:25,650 Oh, but is seen with black. Just let me see if I could get them all but there full of Basil Shipstead. 21 00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:31,500 They were tenanted, actually. And the housetop, pretty talented. Thank you. 22 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:38,820 Who was it that ran in the end? The pregnancy, hypertensive squishier presented here. 23 00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:46,690 His bedroom was my house position took root yet and I was shaken up when I got here 24 00:02:46,690 --> 00:02:51,960 that I thought perhaps I'd come to Sleepy or Augusta from that give our number. 25 00:02:51,960 --> 00:03:02,820 And the absolute reverse was the case. I remember the first day I came on, take Brian Crouch, who's my senior raised. 26 00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:07,940 Right. I said it's customary here to do a take around. The patients who come in. 27 00:03:07,940 --> 00:03:11,930 Never heard of. Nothing like that ever happened. None consulted. 28 00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:19,500 Never appeared to see people who had been hit and students were put on the more of an. 29 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,120 And after. We did it. He told me to take one. 30 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:33,640 Was it four? And could I please. He wanted particular advice or maybe would never think I'd been doing research for two years. 31 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:38,880 Capable, measured. I realised that I wasn't going to be advising people to advise on liver failure. 32 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:45,410 I remember saying that I'm in the boss and I'll be half an hour. Give me a little time to do some work for me. 33 00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:51,800 So they won't consider where the New and the Great came and there were the grand rounds. 34 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,120 I suddenly realised when I arrived that when you went on the ground runs, they went to there. 35 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,980 Were you any good? So you were a target. So there you were, the new physician. 36 00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:08,780 Your opinion was often employed by Tony Mitchell and George Pickering. And they weren't sure they would be your calibre within a month or two. 37 00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,610 They all tell a joke. I think you would consider it. 38 00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:17,780 Now, Concettina were Wednesday afternoons, I think, which was an hour of telling people about your research. 39 00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:23,570 And they took place every week and they were dead. But I felt like this is an intellectual hothouse. 40 00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:27,320 It was quite shaking, a little section of Western society. Why not? 41 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:33,560 In contrast it on totally a contrast to Lobban, which is a sleepy old place. 42 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:44,260 But coming back to the students was what you wanted to know was I could quite see why they ought to come and. 43 00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:49,600 George Pickering I talk to you about before. I think he was the architect of it all. 44 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:59,620 I'm firmly of that view because he felt passionately about putting those clinical school on the map. 45 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:09,460 And the first thing he did, which is perhaps almost relevant to, was he looked at these new physicians and surgeons. 46 00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:22,450 Six of us were having a dinner celebrating in a week's time of Malcolm Gough Smith, Robert Duffy criticising me and Derek Carr. 47 00:05:22,450 --> 00:05:34,440 And we all arrived. And, of course, we were appointed for nine sessions by the NHS in two sessions. 48 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:45,730 We could do what we liked. And the assumption was that we'd do private practise and GWP took a shorter dinner and said, look, 49 00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:56,770 I have a passion on this medical school that there should be no difference between NHS physicians and surgeons and the academic people. 50 00:05:56,770 --> 00:06:02,230 Thanks. Began to civilities as is raising. And John. 51 00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:05,530 No, thanks. And I'm wrong. I'll give you some more. 52 00:06:05,530 --> 00:06:08,290 No, it be lovely. Thanks. 53 00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:19,270 So Pickering was passionate about finding together the NHS staff and the university sophon that been a good deal of friction. 54 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:25,420 If you look at it before, which I'm sure you know, I know what he said to me and to all the others. 55 00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:32,530 I don't want to this second half term. What he said was, look to John. 56 00:06:32,530 --> 00:06:39,220 He said, you can do a private practise if you like, and I showed you a good witch, but I have an offer to make to you. 57 00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:45,490 If you do not do private practise, I will offer you, Campbell, to research sessions. 58 00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:49,790 I will make you a lecturer in medicine in the university. 59 00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:58,030 Could you sing? I'd like to be. And I will give you laboratory space from five hundred pounds a year expenses to start researching. 60 00:06:58,030 --> 00:07:02,020 And all six of us and all five of us give Robert Duffy was professional. 61 00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:07,150 Any. All five of us had what was then called A plus B appointment. 62 00:07:07,150 --> 00:07:11,380 So that's just an it didn't. It caused us to decided. 63 00:07:11,380 --> 00:07:19,250 And Derek and I were impressed me until I think Derek was forever and the other two of us translated into investee anyway. 64 00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:24,790 The surgeons, of course, with much more money to make. Oh, you dog much more quickly. 65 00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:32,410 Yes. That's fascinating because it's always bringing together. I've been talking with John Chambers and Owsla. 66 00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:36,520 Yeah. And that was a way of bringing together Flexner with the academic side of things. 67 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,470 And I was that with the ethical presence and the ability to. 68 00:07:41,470 --> 00:07:47,620 Because if you had good people and ameliorate them, then they wouldn't want to say you, professor. 69 00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:49,000 So that was it. And we did. 70 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:57,550 And we suddenly felt that it with a sort of sense of invigoration that we were there was Tony Mitchell is absolutely marvellous. 71 00:07:57,550 --> 00:08:01,780 First assistant to Pickering. 72 00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:09,850 And of course, Ralph Wright and various other people with whom and so on suddenly realised that this place actually could explode. 73 00:08:09,850 --> 00:08:15,270 And we all thought we were in an exploding group. I think, in fact, we were. 74 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:20,590 And in terms of it and then get away, the reputation grew. 75 00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:27,190 I think the influx of a young that it that sounds arrogant, includes me, didn't do something. 76 00:08:27,190 --> 00:08:40,150 But again, Pickering started liaising with his old university, Cambridge, and started to say, well, why don't you come and jump in a bit? 77 00:08:40,150 --> 00:08:49,670 This had ended when I was who studies first, but whenever it was, I used to go. 78 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:52,820 God, remember it every winter around Christmas. 79 00:08:52,820 --> 00:09:02,810 I drove to Cambridge and drove back and dined with them and went to Cambridge University Medical Society. 80 00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:10,710 Well, one or two London Deans. And here, Chalmers, you might know in Middlesex who was running Cambridge at that time, too. 81 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:17,650 In fact, the new Cambridge School. And tell me why they should come here. 82 00:09:17,650 --> 00:09:21,530 And I did that for five years. I think they came in flats. 83 00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:27,560 Of course, I can remember at the height of it all. When you could. 84 00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:39,290 I'm sure I'm not wrong in saying that you could you turn down 50 percent of the people who wanted to come here. 85 00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:43,940 You looked I mean, Cambridge flooded, really flooded. 86 00:09:43,940 --> 00:09:52,970 Oxford, flooded London medical schools, Andrews, particularly in Scotland. 87 00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:56,360 Those who had an integrated B or C could come. 88 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:09,180 And you sat in a settlement committee and suddenly realised that you were taking top class people and turning down one and two. 89 00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:13,220 And you were one of them. I think it was a refugee Camp David. 90 00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:17,520 What do you want of the anti refugees? I think became a flood, actually. 91 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,500 And he and I could remember the regions of Cambridge. 92 00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:28,610 And Theo Chalmers is that Keith Peters and me are charming. You invited me here. 93 00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:34,150 I say they were fed up with the black orthodoxy of the past, all their best graduates. 94 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:41,500 They're the only ones that stayed with them were the ones who couldn't get a visa. 95 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:48,310 That was that's actually true in. And so it was Pickering who put the kettle on. 96 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:52,440 It was Pickering who started it as Pickering who said, you got an opportunity. 97 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,580 And Pickering who said, I want to NHS consultant's to do research and teach as much as the university. 98 00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:01,640 And I want the university to do as much teaching as pinnacle work. 99 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:09,440 And I don't want it to be I don't want this medical school quite different from anywhere else. 100 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,230 He achieved it in my view, and he was supported by Paul Beeston very much. 101 00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:19,810 But I do think and people attribute attributes of victory to Richard. 102 00:11:19,810 --> 00:11:24,020 I wouldn't. I think it's all it all happened before he came. 103 00:11:24,020 --> 00:11:27,290 And what was the role of Nuffield spending faction? Because that was. 104 00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:34,490 Must have been an extraordinary moment when Nuffield puts a lot of money in to people, in particular the professors. 105 00:11:34,490 --> 00:11:39,280 You mean the nineteenth? Was it forty six or Newton that are the creation of. 106 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,340 That's something I don't know terribly much about. I'm an idiot. I know the legends and I'm sure you do. 107 00:11:44,340 --> 00:11:51,560 No you didn't. Professor of Anaesthetics. Then we, we had the gas man and all. 108 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:58,190 And yes, there's a there's a big history which I'm sure you can get hold of of of the 109 00:11:58,190 --> 00:12:02,670 argument the university had it didn't want to it didn't want a clinical score. 110 00:12:02,670 --> 00:12:06,980 And as it ran it itself, it didn't want any NHS input. 111 00:12:06,980 --> 00:12:12,370 And if it if if we're going to have a university medical school within all the appointees must be university. 112 00:12:12,370 --> 00:12:22,200 We can't have fifty x ray people from the NHS. Lots of arrogance from preclinical logic because they were very arrogant. 113 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:31,160 I'm diverging a little bit because that's I mean, it seems to me the argument once it had taken off, people started flooding in. 114 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:37,970 I mean, if I suppose the Advent Wetherall course made a huge difference in 1974 when Peter 115 00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:42,620 Morris a year later and put some dents because everybody wanted to come here, 116 00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:47,500 then I don't think David Weatherill would have come here as it was two years before. 117 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:54,280 And I'm sure he wouldn't even ask him, but I think he wouldn't. 118 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:03,680 So, you know, it's some it then took off and of course, because one had this extraordinary group of students. 119 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:59,800 I mean, if you want, it goes I think when I was DCX, it was 50 a year. 120 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,930 Thus ensuring that medical school remains small. Because the one thing that we all saw wasn't Pickering. 121 00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:11,370 So what if this place is good to survive as something really unique? 122 00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:17,110 It's got to stay small. It has to be a personal relationship between the teachers and the students. 123 00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:22,460 That has to be a tutorial systems and this and once it got bigger, it wasn't. 124 00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:27,330 And it had lost. It had lost. And details that were written by John Potter. 125 00:14:27,330 --> 00:14:31,850 Yes. All right. You're agreeing with what I'm saying. 126 00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:39,490 Yes. To my second point, which is that the Oxford Medical School, as you know, is currently ranked first in the U.K., 127 00:14:39,490 --> 00:14:48,870 both in terms of its research income as a bio sciences unit and also more directly by its students graduates. 128 00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:55,550 They have a questionnaire. The key elements in its success, as you mentioned, this is, in your view, its size. 129 00:14:55,550 --> 00:15:00,810 And I would agree with that, of course. What do you think of the other key elements? Is it. 130 00:15:00,810 --> 00:15:09,000 I suppose this is this process of having very good people who also have a mixture of self generation X and yourself generate. 131 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,810 If you get people will look at them. 132 00:15:12,810 --> 00:15:20,580 You look at the Adrian Hills and the John Mills. Well, I can't list of all, but just wherever you go. 133 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:31,060 Yes. You'll find that Oxford graduates from this clinical school were populating the rest of the university and read the rest of the country. 134 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:37,480 Students and going on onto the president's world class. I mean, if you look at it, I haven't got chapter and verse. 135 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:44,190 I mean, there's almost nobody who left. I didn't go with distinction and make their mark outside. 136 00:15:44,190 --> 00:15:48,210 Once that happens, because that's where people want to go. 137 00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:55,930 Usually when I feel passionately diverging a bit about the need to support in the House and the and all the other stuff that goes on, 138 00:15:55,930 --> 00:16:02,250 that I hope passionately that the university might be turning to make a mistake, 139 00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:07,770 putting all its eggs in the research basket because it's got a lot of eggs is research. 140 00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:17,350 Bacik is huge and well-respected. But I sort of had a sort of feeling that it might be at the expense of the teaching just beginning to be. 141 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:25,980 And this would be a great mistake because New Zealand phrase, your clinical students are the seed corn of of of the people to come. 142 00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:28,810 Therefore, you want the best students in the country. 143 00:16:28,810 --> 00:16:33,840 If you don't have the best students in the country, you will ultimately have the best clinical school. 144 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:42,300 And I have an example for that. If you look back in the 1930s, there were three or four fellows of the Royal Society at University College London, 145 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:49,260 and you was on the place that people went to intellectually and frankly, what do they call it? 146 00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:55,300 By about the 1970s? It was a dump. It had no intellectual. 147 00:16:55,300 --> 00:17:00,390 They did is professor of medicine was a disaster area. It's got productivity was no good. 148 00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:06,530 It started I don't know, it just went on to call it Manchester United when the football championships. 149 00:17:06,530 --> 00:17:12,030 Bloody difficult to stay there. Yeah. And also, maybe no one is going to have to struggle hard to stay there. 150 00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:21,030 Absolutely. I suppose also say UCL being a large I don't know how it is comparatively without other London medical schools in terms of size, 151 00:17:21,030 --> 00:17:24,570 but all along as well, I should say big. I'm not no one person can. 152 00:17:24,570 --> 00:17:27,900 No, I'm not in any way. And frankly, I think it's too big here. 153 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:34,320 But I'm glad to say so. I said yes. 154 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,550 Other key elements in the success say that would be the key people coming. 155 00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:43,940 The people interchange between Oxford, Cambridge, which you've mentioned, and the way I tell you what, 156 00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:49,410 I think the essential thing was something very different, perhaps not in London. 157 00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:51,570 When I came here, 158 00:17:51,570 --> 00:18:03,030 I found it very refreshing that any student was allowed to have an opinion equal to my own that do worship of the consultant was absolutely absent. 159 00:18:03,030 --> 00:18:06,590 It was then in London. You didn't argue with the boss, even if you knew you'd be. 160 00:18:06,590 --> 00:18:12,030 He was hopeless. You didn't know here from the first moment. 161 00:18:12,030 --> 00:18:19,100 Consultants, I think, did treat students as their intellectual equals and wanted their opinion and gave it. 162 00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:23,280 I mean, that sort of thing that I would do and I'm sure others did with somebody asked me, 163 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,380 I didn't something I didn't know I wouldn't bluff a way out of it, which might have happened. 164 00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:32,250 You'd say to the student, well, that's a damned if I can question. 165 00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:38,370 I have no idea what the answer is, but perhaps you could look it up and tell me when we next make it. 166 00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:48,330 In other words, the students were treated as as part of the team looking after the patient and whose opinion was equal. 167 00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:50,470 And you ended with the boss because. 168 00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:57,990 So what, you were the boss and you and what your way, provided you have persuaded your team that this was the right thing to do. 169 00:18:57,990 --> 00:19:06,060 That was very refreshing. I mean, it may be cover pleasure, but then if it is, I think the idea that that seniors earn the respect of the students, 170 00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:12,720 particularly if the students are particularly high calibre. Probably still is something that's particularly prominent at Oxford. 171 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,270 I count how prominent it is at Cambridge because I've never done thing where I don't have it. 172 00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:21,150 That's very interesting that the whole thing was a team effort. 173 00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:32,770 It must have been quite a strain to keep together the top clinical practise and also to move forwards in research area and to have research students. 174 00:19:32,770 --> 00:19:37,200 So is how did you juggle that one? Because that's quite a difficult. 175 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:50,010 I mean, how do one keep up with clinical medicine? Well, I yes, I think that this is actually slightly diverting self a different subject, but. 176 00:19:50,010 --> 00:20:02,890 If you if you wish to be a consultant, physician or surgeon in a teaching hospital in the U.K., in my time, you had to have a research record. 177 00:20:02,890 --> 00:20:10,610 You had to have a track record of publication. You had to show some. 178 00:20:10,610 --> 00:20:17,600 Some activity in the research field, and though I think many of us were not ready but suited to that. 179 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,720 And I remember as a young chap wondering there was so much to learn in clinical medicine and applied. 180 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:32,270 What did I really want to do? It's spend two years in the lab doing work that I really wasn't as good as as as people who primarily did it. 181 00:20:32,270 --> 00:20:39,590 And I thought you ought to do research if you wanted or were interested in it rather than the compulsory thing. 182 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:47,120 And all of our time you had before you got here to do your BDA, been to America. 183 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:52,790 If you had not been to America, the state of the English medical schools research, you couldn't do any research. 184 00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:56,690 I mean, I couldn't do anything that he use Middlesex, even the John Novara. 185 00:20:56,690 --> 00:21:03,680 So I went and spent a year at Columbia. We've done our own research in Reading and Angiotensin and hypotension. 186 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:13,010 I don't regret it. It was good. But I sometimes look back and think, well, I could have spent those two years being a bit of a day to day physician. 187 00:21:13,010 --> 00:21:18,680 And would I have been any less good at teaching students? I simply don't know. 188 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,110 But the gospel of the Great Professors, Pickering particularly, 189 00:21:24,110 --> 00:21:30,140 was that there was a thing called the Medical Research Society, which did exist century when I was ultimately chairman of it. 190 00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:37,130 But it made every month, I think, in London where the young gave a paper for ten minutes. 191 00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:46,790 Papers should be spoken and not read in the front row of the audience for all the professors of medicine in the U.K. looking out for. 192 00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:52,760 I'll have him. So it was a cattle market. Is Egypt a fishing trip? 193 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:59,310 Well, you when you went there and hoped that you know how you could if you went out and enjoyed your paper, my boy. 194 00:21:59,310 --> 00:22:03,790 I want. What are you thinking of going. Want to go. And. 195 00:22:03,790 --> 00:22:08,090 And that was it. So we all had my generation. 196 00:22:08,090 --> 00:22:13,940 I mean, if you look at a slight well, you'll find out when you're talking. We had all come back to the United States. 197 00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:21,650 In fact, I got appointed here when I was still in New York and then came back six months after the others had finished. 198 00:22:21,650 --> 00:22:28,940 And no sooner I've been, as I say, oh, your interesting work in New York to talk about it on the Concilio. 199 00:22:28,940 --> 00:22:37,400 And then you've got no plus B in your lab. Suddenly you've got people wanting to you were driven piggy by the. 200 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:44,280 By the people who wanted to do deals with you. My first was Perry Leary, who later became professor of medicine in South Africa. 201 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,050 My second was Martin Gregory. Whose story is it? It was David Warren. 202 00:22:49,050 --> 00:22:57,670 There was Gwinn Thomas in it. And suddenly you had always two or three DeSales students attached to you. 203 00:22:57,670 --> 00:22:58,730 And they were very bright. 204 00:22:58,730 --> 00:23:10,370 Say I'm the first in the first century that if my published work, a lot of the engineers, a lot of the technical talent came from the chapel. 205 00:23:10,370 --> 00:23:19,580 I suppose it is. If you look at Peter Radcliffe now, if our Essene professor, he was in that group, 206 00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:25,010 I had a wonderful time when I had he and Jonathan Turley reign as a career. 207 00:23:25,010 --> 00:23:29,750 And when you look at them, as you can see, well, it was a powerhouse and you could say, well, how did I keep up? 208 00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:37,290 I don't know. And I know they were all but equal. But Peter Radcliffe started. 209 00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:43,820 With me, for instance, saying what I do. I've gone to a Cambridge and the. 210 00:23:43,820 --> 00:23:55,150 I'd like it to be Renald vaguely, and I'd got interested in that kind of I said Peter Hamby thought, why God put a little cohesion on the kidney. 211 00:23:55,150 --> 00:24:01,790 Well, like I said, national, you know, there are ways of looking at oxygen levels in the kidney and the different. 212 00:24:01,790 --> 00:24:08,850 We get interested in that well within a year. He left me well behind and was going into the molecular biology of ocean. 213 00:24:08,850 --> 00:24:15,030 Sensing in general is now a world authority on it. But he did start with that. 214 00:24:15,030 --> 00:24:19,740 Mr. Very often. My job was to simply what of the question? 215 00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:24,150 Light the blue touch paper and then then the talent of the other subset. 216 00:24:24,150 --> 00:24:27,600 And I did not do that again. Did you did also have to look after them? 217 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,000 In a sense, I would imagine. Oh, that's it. That you had to have that sort of getting them stale. 218 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,790 Yes. Well, they all felt they weren't adequate. 219 00:24:34,790 --> 00:24:45,810 Well, Dr. Peter, particularly you wanted to apply for a job in geriatric mentioned in Chelmsford Wednesday, 220 00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:49,320 which leads me onto your times as director of clinical studies. You did. 221 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,810 You decided to start institute. I read No. Two loops above. 222 00:24:53,810 --> 00:24:59,330 And they were very influential because I think that you took this idea. 223 00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:05,330 There's this this this passion of yours for being individually known to students. 224 00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:09,450 Yes. And you built that even maybe to that to the clinical school. 225 00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:12,850 But what are your key memories at those times as directly paid for? 226 00:25:12,850 --> 00:25:19,210 That is what what is it what are the things that will stay in your mind? Well, and I knew when it was in the womb. 227 00:25:19,210 --> 00:25:25,320 And I suppose you have to say what is director of Cadenzas Studies, therefore? 228 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:36,870 And people would have different views. My feeling very much about it was to to try to get the best clinical students you could, 229 00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:44,950 but mostly to be there to represent them against the university, if you like. 230 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:52,080 Oh, yes. Now there are directors of clinical studies who are disciplinarians or who are people 231 00:25:52,080 --> 00:26:02,540 who will select the curriculum or want to see the student who failed to turn up. 232 00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:09,030 That's something I never took that I had to do that bit on the whole in a way that was far too benign, 233 00:26:09,030 --> 00:26:14,460 I'm afraid, and let murder take place occasionally. 234 00:26:14,460 --> 00:26:20,850 But but on the whole, I regarded myself as this in the position of the students trend in both times. 235 00:26:20,850 --> 00:26:29,790 I did it and I don't regret that. And I don't know. Compared with the other people who've done it, whether whether it was the same or different, 236 00:26:29,790 --> 00:26:35,260 how their property took it a little bit to an extent, I certainly felt that I wanted to know them all. 237 00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:38,050 And as you probably know, I mean, 238 00:26:38,050 --> 00:26:45,580 I used to get into the medical school at about a quarter to eight and and have a cup of coffee and between eight and nine. 239 00:26:45,580 --> 00:26:53,560 Any student could drop in. But of course, between October and Christmas, I managed to see them all and kept in touch. 240 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:59,870 Course, maybe people will call this dinner unnecessary, but I. 241 00:26:59,870 --> 00:27:05,530 Because with the school's small school, it was very good. But the other thing was, was to find out what was happening to them. 242 00:27:05,530 --> 00:27:17,500 And on that aspect of being D.c.'s that I remember being influential in, if I dare I say it, is that people would come to me saying, where do I go? 243 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:21,370 What career am I going to take? Which medical school am I going to? 244 00:27:21,370 --> 00:27:26,930 What's going to be my what's going to be my aim and object? 245 00:27:26,930 --> 00:27:36,880 And that I found very interesting. But I said I then built up an enormous he Azel with people all over the country. 246 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,830 I had only to tell Georgia about it in Newcastle that I had a student who 247 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:49,840 better take him on the house and did the same for the golden the golden root. 248 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:57,390 That left us with the top students. I would simply ring up the Brompton ICU at St. 249 00:27:57,390 --> 00:28:05,900 Thomas is the renal unit at guys. People really want to get their feet wet in in in clinical medicine. 250 00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:09,890 Stoke-On-Trent, believe it or not, clinical school would form. We want to. 251 00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:13,990 So Newcastle and various other schools. 252 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:25,210 But those were the main ones in which I simply got on the telephone and rang up and said, well, your next your next house physician is X. 253 00:28:25,210 --> 00:28:29,590 And they were. Yes. Such was that. Such was the calibre of the people we sent them. 254 00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:35,310 They didn't even bother. I didn't bother with interviewing or query none. 255 00:28:35,310 --> 00:28:44,590 They said, well, great. And for many years, students went through the branch and two guys who Thomases. 256 00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:49,380 And and it was a steady stream of them. You'll find if you look at the distinguished ones now, you find that subtract. 257 00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:59,350 They took the Senate. But that was a personal thing. Yes, I was cut now and I was able to ring people up and say, I've got somebody exceptional here. 258 00:28:59,350 --> 00:29:03,190 You also had, of course, the ones who would are going to be in difficulty. 259 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:16,870 I can remember the girl committed suicide. I won't name her, but and others who weren't getting through who you had to somehow got into other things. 260 00:29:16,870 --> 00:32:36,560 So I never got bothered what was in the curriculum. 261 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:44,840 There's an illustration of what the D.c.'s could do to my tribe and how I saw the job to be it. 262 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:52,070 And that sort of creativity on behalf of the students is giving them permission to do those like evil off, 263 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:56,000 off, off the wall, things that it doesn't have to do. 264 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:02,860 Another example, it doesn't matter. They had a chat with a young musician of the year and he wanted to go from his French horn. 265 00:33:02,860 --> 00:33:08,810 Yeah. And he made a deal that he would come back and finish the clinical course, even if he decided that he would become a professional player. 266 00:33:08,810 --> 00:33:12,580 And he came back saying, I've had a wonderful year, but I'm going to be a doctor. I'm not. 267 00:33:12,580 --> 00:33:17,360 Well, that's right. And I wonder how many universities, how many middle schools or even an Oxford now. 268 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,900 Well, that would happen. You can tell me. 269 00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:28,640 But just one other example was Emily Harris, MP, Evan Harris MP arrived and said that could take three months of thought, 270 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,970 not to general practise at all because he wanted to stand as a liberal concert, the city of Oxford. 271 00:33:34,970 --> 00:33:40,760 He had political future. And he was only doing mentioned with a view to qualifying, knowing something about it, 272 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:47,090 that joining the Liberal Party and at last having somebody in the House of Commons who knew something about mentioned. 273 00:33:47,090 --> 00:33:59,380 I gave him three months. Well, yes. 274 00:33:59,380 --> 00:36:33,730 And so fighting the corner of of the students with the university in terms of funding froze the House into. 275 00:36:33,730 --> 00:36:36,880 I know, but there was that there was the bird club. 276 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:45,430 Yes, there was the time that the Bird Club joined and the university said, by all means come because there were no bloody good. 277 00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:52,630 And gradually, John Bell and other people found them to be good. And suddenly, as they were coming head of the river before he knew where it was. 278 00:36:52,630 --> 00:37:02,430 And then there was a meeting that our UBC went head to boat to all the colleges and Oxford and announced it as the house was unfair. 279 00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:07,300 It would be syndicated from a well because it got all sorts of places in them, all of them. 280 00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:15,330 And things said they must be thrown off the river. They had to fight that one went over to Vincent's and talked to people. 281 00:37:15,330 --> 00:37:19,360 And we won that one to do with Tom CANDU. 282 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,360 Hudson was extremely helpful in that matter. Absolutely. 283 00:37:23,360 --> 00:38:23,010 You know, if you read. Yes. Yes. 284 00:38:23,010 --> 00:38:31,030 So there were no that was one thought and then my first era these years, most of which I think were valid. 285 00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:32,940 So that's another illustration that I saw. 286 00:38:32,940 --> 00:38:40,890 The DEA says the bloke who who made sure that this that this was a place that people wanted to dump to be students, you know. 287 00:38:40,890 --> 00:38:45,170 Excellent. So tell us your views on women in medicine. 288 00:38:45,170 --> 00:38:52,500 You were always. I remember in my time there were either two Indian housemen, one of whom always, always was a woman. 289 00:38:52,500 --> 00:39:00,360 And then for Indian housemen, the reason we were women was one time the entire junior staff on the Indian women. 290 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,530 Beatrice Sommer's was the senior registrar there on the beach. 291 00:39:04,530 --> 00:39:09,510 She was in Cambridge. Yes. Well, she went. Yes. I mean, we had a time when it was really quite a joke. 292 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:13,950 But I don't think it had anything to do with anything other than talent, actually. 293 00:39:13,950 --> 00:39:18,710 You may have said that whether all letting him have a soft dye for the girls. So this must be true. 294 00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:21,510 Do you think they were good doctors do? I do. 295 00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:29,020 I mean, I think going right back, Peggy, and you'll notice that when you're picking medical students at new college at the age of 18, 296 00:39:29,020 --> 00:39:39,870 the young woman with a bit of Polish and a bit of charm and the pimply, acne ridden, almost unable to speak, shy, try tarring chap. 297 00:39:39,870 --> 00:39:43,110 What did you do? I mean, you used to say to a beat, it said, look, 298 00:39:43,110 --> 00:39:51,930 we're going to have to give the chaps 50 percent more and the girls happy percent and it would never elect another man. 299 00:39:51,930 --> 00:39:55,950 So I don't know. I mean, it's done. My view about women in medicine starts, of course, with that. 300 00:39:55,950 --> 00:40:01,110 My mother was a physician. My wife is a physician, my daughter's physician. 301 00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:05,790 So I have no prejudice against women in medicine to them. 302 00:40:05,790 --> 00:40:15,300 But I think if you look at the day they are girls at school should do attend lessons and work champs, 303 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:20,580 go and play rugby and and come to their come to their peak later. 304 00:40:20,580 --> 00:40:30,720 Yes. If so, I'm not surprised that the girls get on it and they shine and everything else. 305 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:41,160 People ask me why they aren't all not any medicine, why they aren't on governing bodies of city companies, 306 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:48,840 why they aren't all in politics where they aren't. Or Professor of medicine. Am I also this is twofold. 307 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:54,660 I think one is I think they do peak earlier than men and the men really don't get down to it, too. 308 00:40:54,660 --> 00:41:03,460 We have to do a bit later. But I think the other thing is the same old story of what a woman wants to do. 309 00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:12,990 Yes. And you remember Peggy being one of the things so much when he was saying, well, 310 00:41:12,990 --> 00:41:21,610 I'm coming back to being DC s now because it's somewhere about March of each year, students would come in saying, what am I going to do? 311 00:41:21,610 --> 00:41:25,910 Which has structure at Blackall and what sort of medicine do I want to do? 312 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:36,780 And it's simple sort of a characterisation, but a surprising number of people who had a double first at Cambridge and a little of this, 313 00:41:36,780 --> 00:41:41,670 every other president of the union female who would come and say the following to me. 314 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:47,070 They'd say I was I was bright at school in Science City, pushed me to science. 315 00:41:47,070 --> 00:41:54,030 And then there's a initial private side. You better do medicine. And when I was found to be really quite good at that, they said, well, 316 00:41:54,030 --> 00:41:59,450 if you really want to do medicine the top place, you go to Cambridge and the preclinical school. 317 00:41:59,450 --> 00:42:05,220 And then they told me at Cambridge that if I was ready, very bright, the right place to do clinical mentioned was Oxford. 318 00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:10,830 And here I am. You can think of all the people I'm talking about. And I loved it. 319 00:42:10,830 --> 00:42:19,770 It's a hobby. It's something I'm used to. But actually, I want to marry and have children. 320 00:42:19,770 --> 00:42:26,820 And I do not wish to be a professor of medicine at Hammersmith. 321 00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:34,560 I know I could be, but I want to be. And can you advise me? I remember my own daughter saying, shall I do haematology or rheumatology? 322 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:42,270 Because it seemed to be the ones that I am least likely to be born out of bed at night when I can about you and people. 323 00:42:42,270 --> 00:42:48,040 I mean the concept that women actually want to run things. 324 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:54,470 Yes, there are odd ones that Sheila showed up, for God's sake, get. 325 00:42:54,470 --> 00:43:05,940 Yeah. So it's a particular sort of so I might wish that there is a small proportion who really want to be a Margaret Thatcher. 326 00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:12,660 But the vast majority that they want to do a good job, they look them broadly educated. 327 00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:20,580 They're fascinated by medicine as an intellectual pursuit. But they're not ambitious to have a better department than somebody else. 328 00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:25,460 The show is today the rose, and that debt is very obvious. 329 00:43:25,460 --> 00:43:32,590 Two sessions that it made, maybe 10 years is. And the mother who. 330 00:43:32,590 --> 00:43:39,990 Did medicine between diet consultant between 1929 and 1947 without any payment at all? 331 00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:43,060 You did. I mean, before the days of the health service, 332 00:43:43,060 --> 00:43:50,140 you were known we didn't say mom did five five sessions a week at the world free at five sessions 333 00:43:50,140 --> 00:43:58,070 a week looking after children and no money at all that I would put up with that as a background. 334 00:43:58,070 --> 00:44:02,560 And I still think it's true. I think people who try to push it any other way are pushing against a motor 335 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,060 that won't move and maybe making women guilty if they're guessing to do that. 336 00:44:07,060 --> 00:44:08,840 Oh, absolutely. Yeah. 337 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:17,050 Yeah, I you know, I only I went to that come to the same point of view as well, that it may be that women don't choose to go into those roles. 338 00:44:17,050 --> 00:44:21,220 And I think they will be given increasingly superhuman that some of those. 339 00:44:21,220 --> 00:44:27,670 I think we're asking too much of people who lead huge enterprises. 340 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:35,490 Medical research. I think your point that the ones who who don't want to push it start feeling guilty. 341 00:44:35,490 --> 00:44:45,840 It's also true that. But also, passengers are terror by having a wife who isn't mentioned in my time. 342 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,860 The concept, when do medicos married? 343 00:44:50,860 --> 00:44:55,000 The wife had an equal career. It wasn't to be thought of. 344 00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:01,630 I mean, Elaine and I got married when she didn't SAHM and said Crick's want to be an obstetrician within a year. 345 00:45:01,630 --> 00:45:05,710 We got a child and she was doing part time general practise with Jillian. 346 00:45:05,710 --> 00:45:10,150 Slight. I meant what Jillian did. 347 00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:20,090 I think it was sort of my keeping even, you know, pregnancy advisory service or law school or medical office or something when you could look. 348 00:45:20,090 --> 00:45:25,690 Did Hockaday, on the other hand, did pursue a career. But got held back? 349 00:45:25,690 --> 00:45:25,960 I mean, 350 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:35,230 one of the cities at Oxford had was to find that there were wives who could be made use of and one get to leave because their husband for them. 351 00:45:35,230 --> 00:45:40,780 So they didn't promote them and didn't give them the recognition they needed. 352 00:45:40,780 --> 00:45:44,290 So that said, what did he want to say? Ask about women in general. 353 00:45:44,290 --> 00:45:51,790 I think God, women and men to know their. I think they are. 354 00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:54,420 I don't know whether they do provide more. 355 00:45:54,420 --> 00:46:02,840 I mean, my chief worry about medicine now is my shorthand and what I think the NHS does, which is they treat disease, not people. 356 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,520 That is my shorthand. Yes. And I believe people should be taught. 357 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:12,480 And I think women are more likely to treat people who are less fascinated by the Meccano set of their 358 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:21,160 latest gadgets that we have of the women who are still wanting to sit the other side of a patient. 359 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:26,310 And it is, I think, well, who still value that as an element in the profession. 360 00:46:26,310 --> 00:46:32,880 Yes, I have. That brings me on to my last question, which is that you have a long career as a distinguished clinician. 361 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:41,330 So what do you think makes a good doctor? Well, I think it's very difficult. 362 00:46:41,330 --> 00:46:54,530 There are lots of things you can write down. A good doctor has to have had a very, very, very broad and intense experience, which he no longer has. 363 00:46:54,530 --> 00:47:04,940 I believe that the code to which we grew up was into many people's minds at this dreadful era. 364 00:47:04,940 --> 00:47:10,460 But by the time I was consultant, I had seen almost anything it was possible to see. 365 00:47:10,460 --> 00:47:19,040 And I would see some difficulty and I'd say, I've seen that before with something else. 366 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:24,310 I can remember that case that I saw with. I turned him on. 367 00:47:24,310 --> 00:47:31,040 I remember that case that I saw with Dick Bayliss, know where it was. 368 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:39,260 And so there nothing that primary need is real deep in depth, out of bed at night. 369 00:47:39,260 --> 00:47:48,140 Follow it right through this clinical experience. That he's a cynic known and the current business of working hours. 370 00:47:48,140 --> 00:47:53,180 And this is, I think, nothing short of a disaster, in my view. 371 00:47:53,180 --> 00:47:57,090 It comes piecemeal rather than joined up. Well, yeah, you can't. 372 00:47:57,090 --> 00:48:02,080 It's the piece that that's one aspect. Peggy, the other is the total lack of experience. 373 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:15,360 If. If, if. When I was on the House and Middlesex, I had six hours out of the hospital in the first year, there was a barber in the hospital. 374 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:23,190 There was a bank in the hospital. If your patient was ill, they might have been up three nights in the way it was you who got cold again. 375 00:48:23,190 --> 00:48:28,430 Now, people say that was dangerous and you killed them. I don't believe we did, actually. 376 00:48:28,430 --> 00:48:33,360 But there's nothing you learnt doing it that way. 377 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,260 You learn not only clinical medicine, the outcome and recognition of things, 378 00:48:37,260 --> 00:48:41,070 but you also learn how to talk to people and how to be personal with people. 379 00:48:41,070 --> 00:48:45,600 All this rubbish, the way he put it to of communication skills, you do that. 380 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:51,480 It will need that. You learnt it the hard way by sitting and communicating endlessly. 381 00:48:51,480 --> 00:49:01,500 I have a vivid recollection of my first sales job, a 26 year old girl with lactating cosson and with a breast. 382 00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:05,850 It was going to go like a forest for her and be did. She wasn't sent home. 383 00:49:05,850 --> 00:49:15,000 She wasn't sent to save our house. She remained was the responsibility of the team to look after it to their dying day. 384 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,280 And I would go and spend half or three quarters of an hour with her every morning and every evening. 385 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:26,020 Now, what did I learn about how to handle people who were dying? 386 00:49:26,020 --> 00:49:31,330 Much better than having an actor. A list of things, how you hold hands and how you make eye contact, all that rubbish. 387 00:49:31,330 --> 00:49:36,640 I mean, put it that way. I feel actually passionate about this. 388 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,050 You can't put the clock back. 389 00:49:38,050 --> 00:49:47,920 But I think what made great commissions, the first thing you need is experience and personal responsibility and not handing it over to somebody else. 390 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,060 And spending every hour of the day seeing people. 391 00:49:52,060 --> 00:50:00,310 But even when you do that, there were some people who had what I think is a clinical gift of what it is. 392 00:50:00,310 --> 00:50:07,410 There was an obituary of a chap the other day who had this. Some people just have an instinct. 393 00:50:07,410 --> 00:50:09,970 Of course, in my time, 394 00:50:09,970 --> 00:50:19,230 you had to make decisions on totally inadequate evidence a lot of the time these days with MRI scanners and C.T. scanners and doohickeys of diagnosis. 395 00:50:19,230 --> 00:50:24,520 The technical skills, of course, are disappearing and probably unnecessary. 396 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:30,760 But some people had I don't know what it what it was a kind of feeling of which way to jump it. 397 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,250 Like a musician with musical ability. Yes. 398 00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:45,600 And you could find other people who I can think of my kid, many of my contemporaries who read the journals and knew every bit of research. 399 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:51,630 And we're not top class conditions, they hadn't they hadn't got this ability to act. 400 00:50:51,630 --> 00:50:57,420 They would have perhaps Piggy, who shall we? I can never take a case. 401 00:50:57,420 --> 00:51:05,910 A girl comes in with a big pulmonary embolism. Should she have a pulmonary embolism to me or should you hold tight? 402 00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:10,440 She might be killed by the bambrick to me. She might die. 403 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,180 The good condition somehow instinctively makes the right decision. 404 00:51:14,180 --> 00:51:23,040 The chap or lady who knows just as much medicine or more haber's doesn't make a decision. 405 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,490 We know of colleagues who were indecisive at the bedside. 406 00:51:26,490 --> 00:51:31,920 You can't be pleased you couldn't be there. It might be something to do with this strategy. 407 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:38,970 Knowing what worst case scenario is, how it might pan through in terms of experience, either entirely just funny instinct. 408 00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:43,250 And I don't know where that comes from. There are people who could build on conditions. 409 00:51:43,250 --> 00:51:50,110 I can't tell you what that is. But the other thing I think, though, that makes a great condition. 410 00:51:50,110 --> 00:51:55,890 I'm telling you that the future is awful because it doesn't. All the things I liked don't exist anymore. 411 00:51:55,890 --> 00:52:05,940 When I was ascending the medical thing, you didn't decide you wanted to pursue a career in cardiology or something else. 412 00:52:05,940 --> 00:52:16,680 What you did was. You worked for X, you worked for a man with a reputation and a charisma and his special, you may be different from one. 413 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:23,940 By the time you're qualified. I mean, I spent so it would be said much about me, but I'm not alone in my era. 414 00:52:23,940 --> 00:52:29,290 I got emotionally entranced by my second house job in neurology with Michael Kremer. 415 00:52:29,290 --> 00:52:33,300 Valentine. Hello. The son of The King's Speech. Logue. 416 00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:46,680 Yes. And. You know, these people inspired me, so I ended up doing two years in Iraq, McCain, and then I got to see. 417 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:53,750 An adviser, he as well. Well, before you go to Queen's Square as a house officer, you better do a bit more, general. 418 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:58,910 So you end up as a registrar to don there. Our own topic is endocrinology, metabolic diseases. 419 00:52:58,910 --> 00:53:04,160 He says, John Nephrologist, he offered people you better than to do it. Remote object. 420 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,590 And then I've just done my dick a bit research with him, 421 00:53:06,590 --> 00:53:13,730 and I find the senior registrar with the various queen's position, the X D of Hammersmith is available. 422 00:53:13,730 --> 00:53:19,420 He's clearly in the best condition under my bed. Got went for him. 423 00:53:19,420 --> 00:53:30,080 So that if I was any good physical medicine, I base it on being followed in the footsteps of Michael Cremer, John Novarro and Dick Bennett. 424 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:35,240 To that sort of role model. Take all away, actually, real role [INAUDIBLE] doesn't exist anymore. 425 00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:46,070 You don't have farms. And I think Rosie was essential because you learn from them how to behave, how to think, how food by osmosis. 426 00:53:46,070 --> 00:53:52,130 And again, the musical analogy that if you haven't if you're if you're with somebody who has the ability, 427 00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:58,310 but also the technique, I think you if you have innate ability, then you learn that, as it were, 428 00:53:58,310 --> 00:54:05,240 the technique of how a very broad range, not just the technical things, but also the people, things like that, 429 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:12,590 you you pick those up and unbuild on them, whereas without them, you have to build the whole thing yourself from scratch. 430 00:54:12,590 --> 00:54:16,040 And I suppose that students do rotate too much more quickly now. 431 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,550 So they don't and they don't get the ability to work with a particular person. 432 00:54:19,550 --> 00:54:24,390 So I know they're allocated much more than that, I suppose. Well, I think it is inevitable, but an ending. 433 00:54:24,390 --> 00:54:26,990 The cop turned the cop magnet, Nancy, off. 434 00:54:26,990 --> 00:54:36,450 So what I'm saying also, of course, you have to learn what not to do from people whose behaviour as your chief you don't like. 435 00:54:36,450 --> 00:54:42,470 And there is an illustration that the great athlete as the Evan Bedford Library in the commission positions, 436 00:54:42,470 --> 00:54:47,720 great cardiologist, was on his firm as a medical student. 437 00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:56,240 And we used to when he'd done a walk round, the student had to go round and prepare the weeping patients who he'd handled that badly. 438 00:54:56,240 --> 00:55:03,870 And I could recall when you went to Bedfords Outpatient Clinic, the new patient to come in, he didn't make eye contact, didn't look up. 439 00:55:03,870 --> 00:55:09,900 He was cute to write the letters and he would say rather Russia. Well, what brought you here then? 440 00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:15,190 Or something go in that room and get undressed. 441 00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:20,830 Come back, cheque. Come back. On occasion, they had the temerity to say, go to Bedford. 442 00:55:20,830 --> 00:55:24,910 Can you tell me if there's anything wrong? And he had two answers. 443 00:55:24,910 --> 00:55:33,620 One is a busy man. All right. Your doctor. The other was you wasted my time or suffering from your particular health. 444 00:55:33,620 --> 00:55:39,400 And I sort of as a clinical student, I thought at least I have not had. I mean, that was an extreme. 445 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:47,170 How not to behave. But there were people who treated patients abominably. 446 00:55:47,170 --> 00:55:55,190 And you're right from that, too, I think. And if those you worked with, would you single out one or two who were particularly inspirational? 447 00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:59,620 The Michael Cremer, funnily enough, then you would have lost his job. 448 00:55:59,620 --> 00:56:04,730 Yes. My Premal. He had an ability. 449 00:56:04,730 --> 00:56:11,450 Oh, of course. He's a marvellous condition. And knowledgeable. He tell you why you would want to work with him? 450 00:56:11,450 --> 00:56:16,830 N.K. decided that his house physician was the person around whom. 451 00:56:16,830 --> 00:56:20,710 But he revolved his registrars and his senior registrars and research fellows. 452 00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:24,550 On what grounds remain quiet? Yes. 453 00:56:24,550 --> 00:56:32,420 He asked my opinion. He said, well, now the his thing. Just tell us about this patient and tell us what you think. 454 00:56:32,420 --> 00:56:41,530 And I could remember Patty Fullerton. You wouldn't know. Patty became professor of neurology and later might be good office to grab your attention. 455 00:56:41,530 --> 00:56:47,720 And Patty went to a make or two. And I overlapped with her with Grima. 456 00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:56,230 She was his house physician first. And she made an absolute pig's ear of telling what the physical signs were of a patient. 457 00:56:56,230 --> 00:57:01,420 She had either forgotten or she'd been unable appropriately. I postnatal. 458 00:57:01,420 --> 00:57:08,560 Kremer then initiated the physical signs that she said were there by cooking them. 459 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:19,240 And then it's like a Tea Party. Never do that to me again. Well, if you work for a condition like that, it will also force. 460 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,750 Well, here I can remember and legends about my Klima. 461 00:57:22,750 --> 00:57:32,110 There was an BBC Radio three chat with Avenal was GSF and Funny or Orangy, and nobody could come and he'd look back and she said, 462 00:57:32,110 --> 00:57:40,150 John, at four o'clock, Sir Francis Walsh, abuse age is going to come and see this patient to give his opinion. 463 00:57:40,150 --> 00:57:46,880 And at six o'clock, Sir Charles Simons is going to come and we should be both at both attendance and 464 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:53,530 then ring me up and tell me which is the better neurologist not to do what for, 465 00:57:53,530 --> 00:57:56,950 man? That is you. And you watch him clinical skills. 466 00:57:56,950 --> 00:58:07,660 You watch him handling people and ethnic gore, this practise of hysterical illness, people with hysterical and word headache, hysterical. 467 00:58:07,660 --> 00:58:13,120 I can't move my limbs. I've got a problem. I'm dizzy, Doctor. 468 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,170 I know. And he. I can't go into any. 469 00:58:17,170 --> 00:58:22,120 But he actually handle these people in a way that I read. 470 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:30,450 I said is a dimension of medicine. So be far beyond science that there is a strategy for managing that just as much as managing pain. 471 00:58:30,450 --> 00:58:35,600 Yeah, but I put this Sydney in the Gazette, but I medicine. 472 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:47,250 But my father, who was an Aberdonian. Medical graduate saying to me when I went to university, he said, 473 00:58:47,250 --> 00:58:52,430 you you're going to be another these people who get all the work done by somebody else and travel 474 00:58:52,430 --> 00:58:58,580 around the world giving papers on what your unions have done and not getting up at night. 475 00:58:58,580 --> 00:59:03,290 They are losing. I wish you hadn't done it, my boy. 476 00:59:03,290 --> 00:59:16,640 But when you reach my age, which is 70 plus, he said, you will realise that to have found a new disease found a new gene for something. 477 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:26,750 A. Even discovered the structure of DNA didn't say that or have made a diagnosis jeopardies, Mr. 478 00:59:26,750 --> 00:59:38,040 Vanity, all is vanity. When you reach my age, you will realise that if you go and see a patient who is either undiagnosed or untreatable. 479 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:42,180 And sit with them for half an hour. Get back there better. That's for my mind. 480 00:59:42,180 --> 00:59:52,590 What venture about? It still is for me. And I regret that it's I think gone probably will be interesting to reflect on that. 481 00:59:52,590 --> 00:59:56,640 I mean, it hasn't been on this weather to date in it better than anybody. 482 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,710 We've always said that Silwad. Mm hmm. 483 01:00:01,710 --> 01:00:09,210 But there are others I can think of a word. Thank you. 484 01:00:09,210 --> 01:00:13,500 It's great that there is a micro sense. Easy and my like to act now. 485 01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:20,880 And I've got to tell you on spring break, it's it's a it's a pretty personal philosophy, 486 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:27,730 but that's all part and parcel, I think, of the home for all the guests over a very long period of time. 487 01:00:27,730 --> 01:00:32,220 I think it all. I think it all streams. It all rubs yourself. Yes. 488 01:00:32,220 --> 01:00:41,460 Have you gotten this memorable patient? Oh, absolutely. 489 01:00:41,460 --> 01:00:54,980 Yes. Do I know you may see what it was. It was a mutt Mesmer. 490 01:00:54,980 --> 01:01:01,040 With high fever, rapid pulse rate, intractable diarrhoea. 491 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:13,970 A tremor. And video. And here's what I think about medicine is as it was, and they couldn't sorted out who she was. 492 01:01:13,970 --> 01:01:18,680 She was thought to have some metabolic disturbance. Sarcosuchus just came up. 493 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:26,090 It wasn't right. And there was a strange condition in which you some mitochondrial disease or something or another. 494 01:01:26,090 --> 01:01:33,610 Anyway, we went to the small print and nobody knew and she put it out her ear and eventually 495 01:01:33,610 --> 01:01:42,440 it got to his old friend at Hammersmith and sent the lady over to Hammersmith, 496 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:51,970 where by chance they did him. I don't know why they did a better balance, but they did give what she made and what came out. 497 01:01:51,970 --> 01:02:02,540 I found a lot of magnesium in her stool and she did come back and the ward sister found that her bath salts rose 498 01:02:02,540 --> 01:02:10,280 something or other bath salts continued sodium magnesium sulphate with which she had been poisoning herself. 499 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:18,650 I can think of those sorts of patients. Never mind that the patient of Sheila Canada that I shared with her here, 500 01:02:18,650 --> 01:02:26,680 who had an anaemia, persistent depression, positive alchol, blood's in the stool. 501 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:34,250 Never did do it until she stopped being a good condition, devised a method putting into a sideboard and finding it with a syringe and needle. 502 01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:38,510 She could take out having 50 vials of blood and swallow it. 503 01:02:38,510 --> 01:02:44,470 These are often these are sort of cases that live in my mind because they are beyond see. 504 01:02:44,470 --> 01:02:51,830 He's getting an MRI and molecular biology. They are actually letting deciding what? 505 01:02:51,830 --> 01:02:55,040 What people do, and I think in some way this is sort of genetic. 506 01:02:55,040 --> 01:03:03,590 I'm being very you know, when I look at the silver plate that my mother was given on Rapscallion for the World Free. 507 01:03:03,590 --> 01:03:16,880 It has some words which I wish they'd written about me, which was to a great teacher of medicine and a teacher of the ways of human beings. 508 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:23,190 So I did. Of course, there are other uses in Moscow. What Susie's saying, oh, she's in the bath salts. 509 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:27,540 I've heard that before. Well, no, you weren't. I think she probably unique. 510 01:03:27,540 --> 01:03:35,800 Yeah. But selfies on people, people who who who were epileptic, you would say another one. 511 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:43,070 Do I remember that they all the ones I read or remember are in this category with the girl that came in when I was a registrar. 512 01:03:43,070 --> 01:03:49,550 Middlesex. Who announced that she had a very severe headache? 513 01:03:49,550 --> 01:03:56,710 The tape of the last week, she couldn't see things to the right, to the left, and that she suddenly become terribly thirsty. 514 01:03:56,710 --> 01:04:03,350 And gave a chemical history. Of course, a pituitary tumour of some size and grey. 515 01:04:03,350 --> 01:04:08,250 And so you ring the boss and say, I've got her. And he says, you better do a caracara garrotted. 516 01:04:08,250 --> 01:04:18,330 And she goes, Oh, you did then. And then the radiologist said, this woman's got holes in her head from previous neurology at that moment. 517 01:04:18,330 --> 01:04:22,970 Kreamer brings me back and says, John, I've been thinking I know it's 3:00 in the morning. 518 01:04:22,970 --> 01:04:29,250 Has she got red hair and is she around? I said, yes. She said, we have heard the National Assembly last week. 519 01:04:29,250 --> 01:04:33,800 She's a classical Munchhausen and she likes having garrotted edges. 520 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:38,430 And I remember going to see her and say, well, we were in Queen's Square last week with Dr. Kreamer. 521 01:04:38,430 --> 01:04:44,340 Funny. Oh, Doctor. She said, I'll go. 522 01:04:44,340 --> 01:04:51,980 Say these have vivid memory or something together with that sort of great triumphs of first drops from done in this country in Oxford, 523 01:04:51,980 --> 01:04:58,340 which is all it was unwell. It was me and Tom Patterson and Joe Smith. 524 01:04:58,340 --> 01:05:07,680 Yeah. Yeah. I do. Yeah, but you see, that reflects that I'm not caring about terribly clever science. 525 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:12,120 It's human nature. I I'm a little bit leading to a conundrum. 526 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:17,810 I think that detective story side of medicine is Cassity. When a detective story about Baylis and I'm getting off now. 527 01:05:17,810 --> 01:05:22,380 But when I had to write Bates's victory, I had to look into him. 528 01:05:22,380 --> 01:05:27,450 I thought for what made him a great clinician. And he was in India. 529 01:05:27,450 --> 01:05:36,240 In the war, there's an outbreak of diarrhoea and vomiting off of infective nature that nobody could track down. 530 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:41,460 And he, Captain Baylis, was sent out to do this by the brigadier. 531 01:05:41,460 --> 01:05:50,430 And he observed after a little bit that it didn't affect the how the ranks or the Sarge Smiths. 532 01:05:50,430 --> 01:05:57,600 It was confined to the officer. And it was confined to the end, to the nursing officer's mess. 533 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:08,470 And then what else? And they'd be a good tradition, went round and asked them what they had to drink before dinner. 534 01:06:08,470 --> 01:06:16,070 And some are happier. Some had escaped. And some had to. 535 01:06:16,070 --> 01:06:23,030 Gin, gin and tonic. And they found that the gin and tonic ones were the ones. 536 01:06:23,030 --> 01:06:25,800 Then find out whether gin and tonic was made. 537 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:39,680 Later, Lake in India found that only a picture of the gin and tonic factory was a source of water in which of a couple of dead cats. 538 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:44,780 That's clinical medicine, man. 539 01:06:44,780 --> 01:06:55,150 They wanted to test as I studied medicine and so on. 540 01:06:55,150 --> 01:07:01,910 And when do you decide to study medicine? Really? 541 01:07:01,910 --> 01:07:08,270 I fought very hard against it as men found having not only two parents, father and mother in medicine, 542 01:07:08,270 --> 01:07:17,090 but an uncle, an obstetrician, another uncle in general practise, and a great aunt who had been a midwife. 543 01:07:17,090 --> 01:07:22,280 On the other hand, my mother's family were distinguished journalistic family. 544 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:30,680 Her father be in Egypt, The Observer, her step brother was deputy editor of the Times. 545 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:35,300 My two aunts had been up, but somebody were reading English one and both. 546 01:07:35,300 --> 01:07:44,210 One was the literary editor of The Observer and the other the other the literary editor of The Telegraph. 547 01:07:44,210 --> 01:07:50,270 So I was surrounded by people and I thought, I want to be and I want to edit dimentia to God. 548 01:07:50,270 --> 01:07:55,340 And I thought, hmm, I find no talent actually in imagination or writing. 549 01:07:55,340 --> 01:08:02,130 So I don't know. I decided within the Army in Hong Kong that I want to do medicine because suddenly the decision was there. 550 01:08:02,130 --> 01:08:06,230 You can have to do something with your life. And did I really want to do Latin? 551 01:08:06,230 --> 01:08:12,860 Greek? The rest of it an indefinite schoolmaster to say in Paris. 552 01:08:12,860 --> 01:08:18,820 And I thought probably I didn't learn very much. My second string from medicine would have been teaching holiday. 553 01:08:18,820 --> 01:08:20,870 Yeah. Yeah, no question. 554 01:08:20,870 --> 01:08:29,990 So then I decided in the Army and I'm living in a tent in Hong Kong with a little to do because the Chinese were not coming over the borders. 555 01:08:29,990 --> 01:08:39,560 He thought they would. I remember buying. Grove, a news biology steads, electricity and magnetism. 556 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:44,610 And reading these textbooks and attend land on the census. 557 01:08:44,610 --> 01:08:48,420 Then arrived at Oxford. I had to do prelims in the first year. 558 01:08:48,420 --> 01:08:52,620 I went to a cram school behind Victoria Station for a bit. 559 01:08:52,620 --> 01:09:02,310 And did that attitude botany and then all sorts of zombies for you as an undergraduate at New College, not three, and didn't qualify for this. 560 01:09:02,310 --> 01:09:07,700 And you do your cooking for the Middlesex Anderson. 561 01:09:07,700 --> 01:09:15,180 Yes. Yes. I didn't consider it if I went to the middle states, which actually was great. 562 01:09:15,180 --> 01:09:24,690 Very strong, surgically offset the military. But, you know, I, I remember doing final in schools here, going back to Oxford. 563 01:09:24,690 --> 01:09:30,990 I actually had enough of this sort of, dare I say it, intellectual arrogance of the preety, 564 01:09:30,990 --> 01:09:37,900 the professors of the era when, you know, slightly felt to. 565 01:09:37,900 --> 01:09:40,900 They slightly felt that you. 566 01:09:40,900 --> 01:09:48,910 When selling us intellectual sailed on the river of information, you rarely were any respectable with few remaining physiology. 567 01:09:48,910 --> 01:09:56,260 And I guess what? I don't want to hear anything more about symmetry conduction or the squid axon. 568 01:09:56,260 --> 01:10:05,060 I wish to see the sick. Yeah. So at once arrival, little Middlesex and I had a medical firm that quite extraordinary was still alive. 569 01:10:05,060 --> 01:10:13,570 Had dinner with them. There were three of us from Oxford in a total of two from Cambridge, three from Oxford and one from London. 570 01:10:13,570 --> 01:10:20,380 Our first medical firm. And of the three. 571 01:10:20,380 --> 01:10:26,020 I am one that Jeffrey Redden became professor of endocrinology at Middlesex. 572 01:10:26,020 --> 01:10:33,100 And Ross McCarty, professor of medicine at Edinburgh. 573 01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:40,770 Christian was who payment paediatrician Vic Aldan speak to. They were good partnership advantage, yes. 574 01:10:40,770 --> 01:10:44,470 Well, we had fun. So I enjoyed the Middlesex Great. 575 01:10:44,470 --> 01:10:49,090 Yeah. And then, of course, London, you know. 576 01:10:49,090 --> 01:10:53,190 You I mean, you said what Gregory wanted to be a neurologist. 577 01:10:53,190 --> 01:10:57,460 Wanted to be an endocrinologist. Answer them. I just want you to look it up. 578 01:10:57,460 --> 01:11:09,910 But I think the advert in the BMJ for Hockaday site and I was wanted general physicians with an interest in cardiology. 579 01:11:09,910 --> 01:11:21,640 The one, the dairy crocodile in office. General medicine, diabetes, endocrinology and metabolic disease and nephrology. 580 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:29,760 We have a pretty general. Yes. That I was here. 581 01:11:29,760 --> 01:13:40,320 Europe and the other question did an. Oh, tell me anything about the house and how they get funding for the Reforge servicemen. 582 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:45,300 Can I do for you? What can I do for the medical school so there's no wind, Tapley Romanos, 583 01:13:45,300 --> 01:13:51,180 the house given by him that will win Tetley scholarships for a good 10 years where three out of 584 01:13:51,180 --> 01:13:58,650 students went to Hong Kong and three outcomes students gain to a new thing all through winter. 585 01:13:58,650 --> 01:16:58,710 And I suppose also music with Ms. Threat opening a study and making, as is he had the whole of the upper floor of Greven House to say goodbye to and. 586 01:16:58,710 --> 01:17:02,740 Revising now. Yes, indeed. Yes. 587 01:17:02,740 --> 01:17:07,570 Is then anyone that that is alive or either of hers or something? 588 01:17:07,570 --> 01:17:12,660 When I got connected, I think I was about. And did you see? Because, Alistair, if I have to say I mean, 589 01:17:12,660 --> 01:17:20,800 Alastair was that Lachlan was the chap who when Green College was coming up and where the students are going to go there or not, 590 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:30,870 as the House had a meeting with its lecture theatre, which doll was invited to arrive to discuss what the new daughter arrived a bit early. 591 01:17:30,870 --> 01:17:35,770 Well, the business was going on and you wouldn't be surprised how Buchardt behaved. 592 01:17:35,770 --> 01:17:46,570 He said, Regis, I'm afraid we're busy. Would you please leave me and change my marriage? 593 01:17:46,570 --> 01:17:50,770 He, of course, is now headed to the house. Yeah. 594 01:17:50,770 --> 01:17:56,560 So that's why that happened. Yes. Interesting. You were saying racist in the rally is. 595 01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:05,290 No, I never. I suppose I know you want to have a chap who had a hockey blue and regarded oarsmen. 596 01:18:05,290 --> 01:18:12,310 It is beyond the pale, actually. I thought when I arrived at Veoh college, they had just gone head of the river. 597 01:18:12,310 --> 01:18:18,670 They also won the ladies play to Penny and they had six members of the Oxford Blue Boat. 598 01:18:18,670 --> 01:18:23,080 You call yourselves and they lounged about the common room either with pink 599 01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:29,900 socks from Leander or with M.J. Hawks written across a bloody great red sweater. 600 01:18:29,900 --> 01:18:38,660 And they ate separately. And I thought they were paying. And I was delighted with the Oxford crew sack. 601 01:18:38,660 --> 01:18:49,370 I was sort, you know, people who are real athletes did something with a bowl of people who rode boats were just people who are sick of. 602 01:18:49,370 --> 01:18:54,340 Come on, let's go. Now, I said they got some. 603 01:18:54,340 --> 01:18:59,920 I mean, you know, we should be going. And, you know. 604 01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:05,140 But you wonder about rowing. Of course, there's the high school, you know, rowing, and everybody wants him and everybody read it. 605 01:19:05,140 --> 01:19:11,040 So that was. And I've never been to the river. I've never I've never watched each week. 606 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:16,330 No, not even once. No, no, not even once. I like to watch the Olympic rowing. 607 01:19:16,330 --> 01:19:20,200 But if you wanted to know about the distinguished people who are around, 608 01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:26,630 when I used to see people look back at what is now the warden's lodgings of greed gone and used to be my officers. 609 01:19:26,630 --> 01:19:36,210 Yes, sir. And they came in and one day came in this Canadian road scholar with head on to here looking like a pop star, 610 01:19:36,210 --> 01:19:42,040 then a reverse belt baseball cap on his head who turned out to be a bell. 611 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:48,000 And he came in with the following. Director, he said. 612 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:55,820 I don't wanna waste your time. Bell. I'm OK, you said, but I have something to tell you. 613 01:19:55,820 --> 01:19:59,960 Oser could go head of the river if you get the right guy. 614 01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:04,810 There's a bloke at Keibel who stroke the Canadian Olympic crew. 615 01:20:04,810 --> 01:20:09,640 Want to come to the house, but he's sick. He fails exams. 616 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:17,560 Dull and ever have an. It's up to you to answer my question, and it's about Ron. 617 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:22,780 John Bell, who first time I met him. 618 01:20:22,780 --> 01:20:26,650 No, I think good. Also, I think they are. 619 01:20:26,650 --> 01:20:35,040 Peggy would know this, that and I do. But I can remember when you had applications for new college or. 620 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:40,460 No application of the clinical school in a pile done in my head. 621 01:20:40,460 --> 01:22:10,650 And I. He asked a reverse. 622 01:22:10,650 --> 01:22:16,950 Can't say it enough. No, but he might be helpful. I'm here to respect Sanchez. 623 01:22:16,950 --> 01:22:20,094 Well, not a bit. Whether or not he is in charge.
