On the first day of her Pathology class in medical school in the ’70s, my sister’s professor asked, “OK, how many of you have watched that show ‘Quincy’ on TV? Great. Forget everything you ever saw on it.” He then went on to explain that the beloved small-screen medical examiner did a lot of assuming and jumping to conclusions, and that while it was entertaining to watch Jack Klugman do his thing, the show had no resemblance to the real-life area of study.
