And the first years and the third years in urology, the PGY-3s and PGY-5s, took tandem rotations or took parallel rotations. And the person who was the PGY-5 resident was Bill Catalona. And Bill and I became very, very good friends. And Bill took it upon himself that I wouldn't fail. He made it his point to cover for me, to support me, and make sure that I succeeded.

I don't know why he did that, because I don't think he particularly liked me, but I think it was just a challenge of taking this person and making sure he didn't flop. That appeal to Bill.

You know, I was the golden boy of the previous chairman of surgery. These two people didn't get along well. So they were always fighting and maneuvering. And so the previous chairman got transferred. And the new chairman said, well, you know, you were this person's favorite son. Let's see how you do with me. It wasn't something that I could do anything about.

Yes. I came to the U.S. because my wife wanted me to come to the U.S., and she was a resident in nuclear medicine at Hopkins and wanted to get a radiology residency. It was not accepted at Hopkins. She was accepted at the places that I looked at.

It was mainly in kidney stones, you know, very, very little in cancer. There was no PSA testing. So, you know, Pat Walsh had done 12 radical prostatectomies in the year that I was the chief resident. Most of them were spectacular, but some of them, there was a lot of blood loss with that. And it was kind of unpredictable, at least to me. I think 40% of all that we did at Hopkins was kidney stones.

Clayman and I were contemporaries. Clayman finished his residency at the University of Minnesota and went to UT Southwestern to do a fellowship, I think Charlie Park. I did not do a fellowship. I went straight to run the Stone Clinic at Wash U. So when I left Wash U and moved to UMass, I helped recruit Clayman to take my job.
