Inside Quote
"Each examiner was more or less a surgical celebrity, almost necessary possessing some peculiarity in his experience or some singularity of view, I will not say crotchet; a fact which occasionally gave rise to a series of questions, unfortunate for a student who, well grounded in the principles and in the general practice of his art, might have no acquaintance with the peculiarities in question, and thus might fail to give the answers expected by the examiners." -- Sir Henry Thompson (1820 - 1904) Charles Kingston's Aunt, 1885
one of the most eminent surgeons of his day on the traumas of the membership examination
