            The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where staff physicians practice a special integrated approach to patient care, is one of the lasgest medical facilities in the world. The clinic staff consists of a 12-member, committee-based of governors and 900 physicians and medical personnel whose records are updated by approximately 200 auxiliary personnel. About 800 resident doctors assist the full-time physicians as a phase of their training in medicine and surgery while they acquire their specializations. The Mayo approach to treatment has been hailed for its almost miraculous patient recovery rate.
            William Worral Mayo was born in Manchester, England, immigrated to the United States in 1845, and immediately began his medical training. In 1860, he took an active part in organizing the Minnesota Territory and accepted the position of an Army surgeon during a Sioux Indian outbreak. This appointment became a stepping stone for his advancement to the post of provost surgeon for the southern portion of the state in 1863. His personal dedication and courage became legendary when a cyclone struck Rochester, and he was placed in charge of an emergency hospital.
            William Worral Mayo provided crucial assistance to his sons in launching their team practice in 1889, while they were holding positions at St. Mary’s Hospital. William James became recognized for his surgical skill in gallstone, cancer, and abdominal operations. He and his brother, Charles Horace, founded the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine and donated $1.5 million to establish the foundation for contributions. Charles William, the son of Charles Horace Mayo, became a member of the board of governors at the Mayo Graduate School and an alternate delegate to the United Nations General Assembly before retiring from the clinic in 1963.
            William James Mayo presided in the American Medical Association and served in the Army military corps as a brigadier general in the medical reserve.  Charles Horace was a professor of surgery and a health officer of Rochester subsequent to serving in the armed forces between 1914 and 1918. The Mayo practice became known far and wide for its success in surgical procedures. In 1914, the practice moved into its own medical center, and today the number of patients equals approximately 280,000 per annum. Since the clinic opened in 1907, 4.5 million patients have been treated there.
In addition to their medical expertise, what common characteristics distinguished the careers of the Mayo brothers?
A.Funding of schools in minnesota
