Attraction

During the lunch time, the few of us again talked about the study that JW showed us.

"What's the purpose of all these?" One of us asked.

"Apparently as a selling point for attracting secondary school students to apply for one medical school rather than the other," I said.

"That's absurd," VW said in his humble voice, "How could a naive teenage have an interest on journal publication?"

"Exactly. It would actually be far more effective if we use some famous figures as the selling point." LY nodded.

"You mean we should put up advertisement for some of our star teachers?" I asked.

"No, don't be silly. That would be to the least of the students' interest," the pragmatic professor explained, "We should seek help from some movie stars or celebrities, which we all have a few as our private patients. If they come out and say this or that professor from our university is wonderful, the impact would be dramatic."

"Alas, this tactic sounds familiar..." I murmured to myself.

"Of course, our sister faculty has been using it for ages," our professor of hepatology finished with a twist of his lips.
