"The bacterial Gram-staining technique was created by Hans Christian Gram, back when he was still a medical student- not even yet a doctor. This technique is so sound that it is still used today. So I want each of you to go home and ponder, 'What the hell have I done to better clinical medicine?'...and then get to work."
- Infectious Diseases professor

I like that your school give history lessons to help give context to medicine.
