Fifteen years ago today I solemnly asked a surgeon, "Can I donate my heart?"
Tonight I had the opportunity to tell a former student - who has become a friend - the story of Doc. There are oh, so many, things that I'll never be able to thank him enough for... but there is no doubt he is the reason I am a teacher.
And as I said to Abdulkarim tonight: If you liked my classes it is because of Spellman. He was the master.
I appreciated telling the story. I am not religious but somehow I think that being the best teacher I can be is keeping Doc's legacy alive.
