Pages of Promise
“He had graduated from medical school at the top of his class, and insofar as technology, technique, and skill with the tools of his trade, there was no one better in the city of Chicago. He was, however, less certain and able when it came to giving bad news to the families of his patients. Always when it was necessary to give the sort of news that he had to give to Rose Stuart and her children, Dr. Robbins wished he was pumping gas or selling aluminum siding.
