Ian was a real nice, friendly fellow, fairly adept at his
research specialty, nutrition (which was also Lyle's) but
lacking knowledge and understanding of radiology.
Lyle put him in charge of the radiology course given to the
freshmen medical students. This act was similar to throwing a
child into the water and expecting it to learn to swim.
Diana had taught the lab portion of this course for several years.
Ian didn't learn very quickly. He tried, you have to give him that,
but he was way out of his depth. The students, as kindly as possible,
turned thumbs down on him. Not only that, but on their SMurFF's,
they were highly critical of the lecture portion of the course,
which Ian conducted, while praising Trenchant and the laboratory,
especially the laboratory manual which she had written.
The manual had been written out of desperation by Trenchant
on her home computer. Over the years, the radiology lab manual
had degenerated into such a mess that it was difficult to use
and impossible to understand--especially when most of the pages
were unreadable. This was before the department obtained
a copying machine and still used the old fashioned stencils.
