ABSTRACT
Author went for an interview with the famous Dr. Roy Grinker and managed during the interview to light his pipe using several matches that then produced a fire in the ashtray. At the same time, he was appointed co-chairman of the psychiatric residency training program at Northwestern University. His colleague as co-chair was the famous Dr. Jules Masserman, whose picture even appeared in some psychiatry textbooks based on his excellent research work making animals neurotic. Freud seems to have felt that way. If he had worked intensively and carefully when he discovered the use of cocaine instead of prematurely publishing and advocating it, he could have become a famous psychopharmacologist, but at the time he felt fame was more achievable in working with patients like those demonstrated by Charcot.
