that time. He spokein a gentle, low voice. He was very much of a gentleman, but not a pretentious gentleman. He wasveryeasyto talk to, but we did not have very many conversations, actually. Dr. Adams, the physicist, finally got the synchrotron going. They did not have anyone available to treat the patients. Dr. Stone wanted to have a particular person assigned to that. He offered me the job of treating the patients, since I had qualified to be a radiation therapist, but I declined becauseI felt that if I treated the patients and was doing experimental work, it would be intellectually unsatisfactory. I didn't do it. And I'm glad I didn't. I liked Dr. Stone is aboutall I can say. BERGE: How do you meanit would have beenintellectually unsatisfying? Meaning do you prefer research? KOHN: No, what I meanis, if you're going to be a good therapist you've got to devote a lot of time to it. If you're going to be a good experimentalist, you have to devote a lot of time to it. And J didn't wantthe responsibility of treating patients every morning and then going to a lab every afternoon. Because I was much moreseriously interested in experimental science than that would allow. This is not to say that clinicians shouldn't do laboratory work, I don't mean that. But for me, I couldn't make that time division. So I didn't. BERGE: Wasthat for the synchrotron program? KOHN: That was for whatever I was doing at the Radiological Laboratory. Or don't you understand the nature of that laboratory?
