It was painful at first, but then got much better. I arrived in the fall of 1980 as a city kid from Chicago. Duke kicked my butt academically but prepared me well. My freshman advisor told me that I could forget about medical school. Having graduated from Duke, then med school I came back as house staff and enjoyed every moment! I am grateful to my mentors and especially Professor C. Eric Lincoln for believing in me. I wouldn’t have changed a single challenge.
