Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

I have known Dr Lindsay for 40 years.He was my teacher, mentor, role model and, ultimately, my partner in the Ross Tilley Burn Centre (Toronto, Ontario).I got to know him really well.He was an excellent teacher.I was his resident for six months in 1975 at the Wellesley Hospital (Toronto, Ontario).He worked very hard.He had a very busy Toronto practice.He also ran a clinic in Sudbury (Ontario) every month and a clinic in Oshawa (Ontario) every two weeks.There were no plastic surgeons in those areas at that time.I don't think he slept very much.I was born and raised on a mushroom farm in rural British Columbia in total poverty.I somehow got to the University of Toronto Medical School and then through the plastic surgery training program.That took 10 years.During that time, I lived in various rooming houses, usually in less than desirable areas.I didn't have a car and sometimes had difficulty raising funds for food.Working with Dr Lindsay provided a new and unique experience.It was a different time and a different place.We didn't have a call schedule.You were the resident for six months.If you wanted time off, then you would have likely been considered a wimp.Even then, you would have missed some cases.Dr Lindsay made up for all our hard work.Two weeks into the rotation, he brought me a box with all his medical books."Keep them for the next 6 months and read up on all our cases" he said.As his resident, you were never a student -you were his associate.He asked questions regularly.If your answer was not correct, then he would simply say "Well, that's a thought".You knew damn well that you had better come up with something better for the next question.He never aspired to that 'disciplinary' method of teaching that was sometimes seen with other surgeons of that era.Dr Lindsay had just opened his surgical clinic in 1975.After our hospital rounds every Saturday morning, we would go to his clinic for soup and to plan the cases for the next week.He actually took me out to dinner on several occasions to places that I had never even imagined!At the end of my rotation, he sent me to a major meeting in Chicago."It's a huge meeting and I think you will learn a lot.Don't worry, I will pay for it!"

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
