Ralph wasn't a very good medical student and had a poor bedside manner in med school. But he decided to go into anesthesiology when he realized he 'rocked' the final exam.

It is little known fact that one of Ralph's descendants, who had a gift for automotive engineering, drew on their ancient family theme and designed a car engine that rocked the industry.
