摘要:From the many writings of Doctors Mayo, Dr. Frederick Willius has gleaned a number of aphorisms, concisely presented for the ready perusal of the busy man. In presenting the sayings of Charles Mayo and those of William Mayo in two parts he has no doubt achieved a subtle, comparative description of these men which is undoubtedly more evident to those who have known and worked with them. From the sayings of Charles Mayo one has the feeling of a Will Rogers of medicine; kindly, flexible, idealistic but keen; in direct contrast to Brother Will, realistic, direct, calculating, and more inflexible. It has notbeen my pleasure to know more of these men, but it would be interesting to have the reactions of those who did. Perhaps this feeling is better exemplified by quoting from the foreword by Charles Mayo who says of his father and "Uncle Will," "Personality differences in their individual characters but added to the strength of a perfectly matched team. Each complemented the other."
