The Bones Aren't Good Enough

Walter Holmes was a third generation doctor. He enrolled in summer classes at the University of Chicago to catch up on medical school before starting medical school next year. Walter attempted to rebuild his health by walking 30 minutes to and from campus every day carrying a heavy box of bones. In spite of all this, he got sick again very quickly and was soon bedridden. "I'm whipping myself because someone else left a muffin out on the counter," Robert Holmes says.
