It took me quite a while to pull myself together.
“That sounds an important topic,” I cleared by throat, “although I
cannot quite imagine how anyone on earth knows this topic in such a great
detail that he could continue to talk about it for two hours. It probably takes
no more than 40 minutes to read out that particular chapter in Harrison’s. Well, maybe your best teacher is going to talk about the specific features of lipoma over the
neck, back, arms, legs, and each and every specific site of the body!”
“Maybe, I’m not sure – nor could I say I’m interested,” my colleague was
obviously not amused, “The real problem for me, as the coordinator of teaching
matters of my division, is, if I agree to put up two hours for lipoma, how
could I cut down the hours for sebaceious cyst, freckles, and wrinkles?”
“Quite true,” I nodded, “But I must say I tend to agree with your
delinquent best teacher. After all, if our curriculum assigns seven hours for
the physiology of prostaglandin, it is really difficult to justify not having
two hours for lipoma!”
