And the hospital had just started to turn, the GME program had just started to turn, and most of the surgical candidates had become American medical graduates. And when they became American medical graduates, we took two residents a year, they didn't want to take call every other day. So I think a plan was hatched, let's get another person to fill in the spot. Since he or she is coming in January,

He would not be eligible to go through the program in July, and this will kind of help the call schedule. So I felt that I was looked at a little bit more critically than somebody who had gone to medical school in the U.S., which I was willing to accept because, you know, after all, there was an unknown quantity there. When I went to Hopkins, it was interesting.

I started at Hopkins as a PGY-3 because I had done my general surgery at Episcopal and in India. As a PGY-3, I was a first-year urology resident. And I'd go to the emergency room, very busy emergency room at Hopkins, and the security guard would check my ID because, again, as you alluded to, Hopkins had never had an international medical graduate in any of the surgical programs.

I mean, I didn't look at it like he was just doing his job. It was a he. They were always he's, the security guards. But then the other thing happened too. I felt that all the residents around me and all the other specialties felt that if I was good enough to get accepted at Hopkins, I must be pretty special.

And so I was completely accepted, maybe even treated more charitably than if I had been just a Harvard medical student. They had plenty of those, but they never had a gypna student there.

How would you reflect on that? Oh, it changed me completely. When I came from India, I was simply told, listen to what your professors say, and you were considered a good resident if you were simply able to parrot what they said. Whereas Walsh and I started at the same time. I mean, I started as the lowest of the low, a one-year fellow in urology. I wasn't accepted into the full program.

And Walsh started as the department chairman at that point. But, you know, I was the first person he hired, secretary, bottle washer, resident. Because I was, by definition, the weakest possible resident that they could have hired, they matched me with the strongest possible senior resident.
