We made him president of our branch of the British Medical Association, but he resigned after the first meeting. "The young men are too much for me," he said. "I don't understand what they are talking about." Yet his patients do very well. He has the healing touch--that magnetic thing which defies explanation or analysis, but which is a very evident fact none the less.
I find very intriguing that as a brilliant as he was that he refused to get with the time. He did not feel comfortable being around younger people for that he reminds me of the Britishmen and scientists who back in the day were scared and doubtful to changes in medicine because they were afraid of the unknown.
