In the article by Dr YL Yu, "Reminiscences of three former teachers: Prof AJS McFadzean, Dr Stephen Chang, and Prof Gerald Choa. Hong Kong Med J Vol 15 No 4, August 2009", which of the following is not related?
A. Prof AJS McFadzean: He often quoted Ockham’s Razor – “essences are not to be multiplied without necessity” or “among competing hypotheses, favour the simplest”.
B. Dr Stephen Chang: His approach to the teaching of Medicine was less formal, no doubt influenced by his US background. He introduced us to problem-based learning, which was adapted four decades later by the Medical Faculty at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
C. Prof Gerald Choa: He was a founding member of the Hong Kong Science Museum.
