I thought my skein of Hungarian mentors had come to an end, but almost immediately I met Francis Robicsek, a Hungarian doctor -- actually a heart surgeon in Charlotte, North Carolina, then in his late seventies -- who had been a pioneer in open-heart surgery, and, tinkering away in his garage behind his house, had invented many of the devices that are standard parts of those procedures.
Mislio sam da je došao kraj mojim mađarskim mentorima, ali ubrzo nakon toga sam upoznao Francisa Robicseka, mađarskog doktora, zapravo kardiokirurga u Charlotteu u Sjevernoj Karolini koji je tada bio u svojim kasnim sedamdesetima i bio je pionir u otvorenim operacijama srca i krpajući u svojoj garaži iza kuće izumio je mnoge uređaje koju su standardni dijelovi ovih postupaka.
