Heparin, insulin, the sinoatrial node and ether anaesthesia are just some of the major discoveries made by medical students, all of which have had a huge impact on the practice of surgery. This paper explores the breadth and depth of some of these talented individuals and their extraordinary contributions to medicine. While some continued to enjoy brilliant careers, others became embroiled in damaging disputes about priority or were overtaken by illness or personal problems. Regardless of their fate, their contributions are a potent reminder of what can be achieved by gifted and determined medical students undertaking a period of basic scientific or clinical research.
肝素、胰岛素、窦房结和乙醚麻醉只是医学生取得的部分重大发现，所有这些发现都对外科手术实践产生了巨大影响。本文探讨了其中一些有才华的人的涉猎范围和深度，以及他们对医学的非凡贡献。一些人继续拥有辉煌的职业生涯，而另一些人则卷入了关于优先权的破坏性争论中，或者被疾病或个人问题所困扰。无论他们的命运如何，他们的贡献有力地提醒人们，有天赋且坚定的医学生在进行一段时间的基础科学或临床研究时所能取得的成就。
