One of the most important things Jack B. McConnell, M.D., learned in his 28 years as a researcher for Johnson & Johnson Co., New Brunswick, NJ, was that failure and disappointment are expected parts of research. McConnell, 68, says nothing can be created if disappointment is allowed to stop research. So after retiring to Hilton Head, SC, four years ago, McConnell organized the island's free, retiree-staffed Volunteers in Medicine Clinic. Formidable obstacles had to be overcome, including initial opposition from the state's board of medical examiners. McConnell talked recently with Hospitals & Health Networks Staff Editor Jim Montague.
杰克·B·麦康奈尔医学博士在为新泽西州新不伦瑞克市的强生公司做了28年研究员的过程中，学到的最重要的事情之一就是，失败和失望是研究过程中预期会出现的部分。68岁的麦康奈尔说，如果让失望阻碍研究，那就什么也创造不出来。所以四年前退休回到南卡罗来纳州希尔顿黑德岛后，麦康奈尔组织了岛上由退休人员担任工作人员的免费“医学志愿者诊所”。必须克服重重巨大障碍，包括来自该州医学审查委员会的最初反对。麦康奈尔最近与《医院与健康网络》杂志的编辑吉姆·蒙塔古进行了交谈。
