For Robert L. Frye, M.D.
A physician scholar who epitomizes the values of Mayo Clinic and embodies the Hippocratic Oath: dedicated to “the art as well as the science of medicine, knowing that warmth, sympathy, and understanding outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug; who is never ashamed to say ‘I know not,’ nor will fail to call in colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery; who does not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability; who prevents disease whenever he can, for prevention is preferable to cure; who remains a member of society, with special obligations to all his fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.”
Dr. Frye upholds his oath and has always acted to preserve the finest traditions of his calling. In return, may he always enjoy life and art, “respected while he lives and remembered with affection thereafter, and long experience the joy of healing those who seek his help.”
