Medieval Miracle Workers By Jennifer Wenger
Lucas Parks will never look at maggots the same way again. The squirming, cream-colored creatures he skillfully baits onto a hook have assumed a whole new level of significance — beyond their ability to lure bluegill and bass — to the 20-year-old.

Remember squirming in your seat back in school when a particularly fiendish instructor gleefully issued a pop quiz? Now make the exam oral in front of hundreds of curious spectators including your mentors and boss, consider that your performance is being evaluated by arguably one of the best teachers in the field, and imagine your responses determining someone's life or limb. That was the scene June 16 in Lipsett Amphitheater at "Caution - Socratic Surgeon at Work," the 2003/2004 season finale of the Great Teachers lectures, part of the Clinical Center's Grand Rounds series.
