...Casey (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). TV's larger-than-life neurosurgeon picks the brain of an ailing industrial czar who has entered the hospital under a phony name because he fears his company's stock will drop if investors hear that the great man is shaky...
...other medical show, Ben Casey, however, written by James (Medic) Moser and starring Vincent Edwards, is one of the great events in the long, hallowed annals of videosurgery. Neurosurgeon Ben Casey is so bright that his giant brain is already grappling with the most advanced encephalopathological problems of 1975.

You can evaluate your own work in terms of your own needs and wants, not society...
...years after Cornelius Packard Rhoads graduated from Harvard Medical School ('24, cum laude), there was little in his life to suggest that his name would become synonymous with cancer research. Son of a Springfield (Mass.) ophthalmologist, young Dr. Rhoads took his internship under Boston's great Neurosurgeon Harvey Gushing, then went to New York's Trudeau Sanatorium (TIME, Dec. 6,1954), Adirondack Mountain headquarters for tuberculosis research and treatment. After a Boston stint in pathology, Dr. Rhoads joined Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute, studied immunity to poliomyelitis. The institute sent him to the tropics to work...
