Charles Mayo was not a 2 of mine in the sense that he would 3 by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation. We were not that 4 , for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California. He was a friend in the sense that he 5 more like a friend than a doctor, when he was being a doctor.
I got very close to him just once. More 6 , he got very close to me. I was flying my own plane to Washington and felt a serious 7 in my back. It turned around, 8 for a clinic nearby and got in 9 with Dr Jan, my doctor and good friend. Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the 10 doctor I had ever met. I have no fever and any other symptoms of it. How can I 11 have appendicitis?
“If you want to 12 better as quickly as possible, we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you.” It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 13 to Jan’s request.
Charles was washing his hands when I was 14 into the operating room. I said, my 15 shaking, “You have done this before, haven’t you?”
“Of course, Danny,” he said. “Twice.”
He had many interests and 16 them with great humour. But while he was crazy about a lot of things, he was the craziest of all about being a doctor. And he faced death often enough to know that while it is final in one sense, it is not 17 final at all. He enjoyed 18 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now.
19 he died on July 29, 1968, at the age of seventy, following an accident, he lived on in the 20 of his books. I am glad he wrote them, because they give me and his other friends the feeling that we still have him—which we do.
