Perhaps Dr. Kropp鈥檚 greatest legacy is his love for teaching. He encouraged residents and students to think critically and develop confidence in their own clinical judgment. Many former trainees fondly recall hearing him say, 鈥淧ut your thinking cap on,鈥� before guiding them through a problem step by step.
