The Narcissist's Daughter (2005)
“The fourth, though, was Dr. Kessler, who ran it all, and this job of administrator, politician, enforcer, facilitator, even cheerleader seemed to suit him in ways I imagined the more typical and pedestrian chores of a clinical pathologist did not (though he was widely acknowledged to be brilliant at such things). He also owned a piece of an outside lab that served nursing homes and clinics and offices, lectured at the medical school and around the region, researched and wrote and published, and... sat on several hospital boards.Though he had Ph.D.s under him to manage the departments, and technologists under them to run all the sections, and though the phlebotomists were in general the undegreed serfs and riffraff of the lab, Ted seemed from the beginning to take a strangely ardent interest in those of us who came in from the university. After we’d finished our training, he made a point every week that fall on a Thursday or Friday of taking a couple of us upstairs to breakfast. Most of the other students were a bare step beyond adolescence and spoiled on top of that (middle-white-collar-class kids looking to get into the upper middle or rich kids looking to stay that way) and I ignored them to the extent I could.MoreLess
