OVERHEARD AT MUSC


Julius Sagel

What?
Dr. Julius Sagel

That Dr. Julis Sagel so embodies the humanitarian principles medical students should emulate that the Education in Medicine Award of $500 will go totwo MUSC medical students each year. It was created to honor Sagel, M.D., who is a professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Medical Genetics. John Feussner, M.D., chariman of the Department of Medicine, said Sagel is an outstanding educator, superb physician and "truly the most humble, self-effacing gentleman I know."

Colleague comment:
"Nothing escapes his notice and there is no case that is too mundane that some teaching point cannot be made. He has the incredible talent of asking questions of the residents and students that make them think through the problems psoed, but never puts them in a position where they fell they are being interrogated."
--Florence Hutchinson, M.D., Chief of Staff, Ralph H. Johnson Medical Center

Quote Sagel's known for:
The practice of medicine is a gift and one should never forget it. To practice medicine is a privilege.
