    I have been told that I wanted to be a physician since I was a little kid, likely influenced by my maternal grandfather, Bernard Aschner, MD. He was a gynecologic surgeon and physiologist trained in Vienna and Berlin, who showed that the pituitary gland controls growth and sexual development by successfully performing transsphenoidal hypophysectomies in pups and comparing them to controls from

    Searching for a future discipline to pursue during my time in medical school at the University of Rochester in New York, I grappled with family medicine, psychiatry and neurology. Then, in one of our first-year pathology lectures, Bernard Panner, MD, in a very deadpan voice, told us that we were now going to learn the most important subject in medicine — inflammation. Damn it if he
