There were a number of opportunities to be involved in medical oncology and doing medical oncology rotations as a medical student, as an internal medicine residential. I didn’t know where they existed within the hospital. Widera and Smith have no relationships to disclose. There really was very little.

Raj: It was indeed very, very gradual, and the seeds were sown when I was a medical student. I mean, just such struggles around corruption in hospitals, access to opioid pain medication, and you almost had to wait until a friend of yours was in power, so you could have access, get permission.

So one end of the spectrum is somebody who’s just a total novice, and it’s clearly very awkward and they’re not used to talking to people in a clinical encounter, like a medical student or something like that.
