Getting people up

 During our residency, we learned about a legendary Pakistani resident who was fired not once, not twice, but three times from a residency program.

Accidentally, I was scheduled to interview him as a senior resident in my third year for his fourth time as a resident.

After the interview, I told my program director (PD), "I don't think he was fired prior due to any unethical act, but he is very dumb!"

My PD looked at me and said, "Now that he's got us, I guess this is our job to get him up."

Fast forward 30 years -

That Pakistani resident is a well-published professor of Cardiology in a highly esteemed University Program!
