19 ' 4'1- AWSPEROPOULAS, ATHAN JOHN: Another Florida man who came to us via The Johnf' Athan, with his keen mathematical mind and huge capacity for preclinical minutia, quickly made it evident why he was flying the Phi Bete flag. We were all amazed when he completed his summer's task of designing a computerized model of cerebral blood flow during his first day on the job. At the present time Athan is sharpening up again in math and chemistry down on the Quad We hope it won't be long before he returns with his talents to the med center. Will be graduated after June 1967.

CHIEF COMPLAINT: This is the first Duke Hospital admission for this patient, who is noted to be a non- homogeneous, in fact, rather amorphous mass of high specific gravity, with a mean age of 25 i 2.537 years, seventy-four parts male and seven parts female. The patient was first seen here in September of 19641 with a chief complaint of ignorance of the vast field of medicine. Returning again, he now presents with the same complaint as before. PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient was in good health until three years prior to admission. At that time, hav- ing just begun his medical studies at Duke, he states that he felt anxious and depressed. His condition slowly improved as he became aware of the more-than-adequate facilities available for passing his leisure hours. The patient did well for several months, learning the biochemistry of photosynthesis and the biophysics of the toad bladder. With simultaneous examinations in anatomy, biochemistry, histology, and psychiatry, his mitochondria became acutely uncoupled. Upon consultation with his advisor he was reassured that conditions would improve and that his grades were not any cause for concern as no one at Duke received grades that were less than satisfactory. His illness went into temporary remission, even without steroids, and the re- mainder of the year was uneventful. In September, 1965, he began his second year and pursued studies most essential-the reproduction of mushroom mitochondria, the biophysics of bacterial reproduction fa candid study from St. Lewisj, and the action of digitalis on the cremasteric muscle of the dog. The lack of repetition of material by the various departments was remarkable. Nonetheless, he completed his second year somewhat disillusioned but eagerly awaited the third year and his introduction to the wards. As expected, only the more common diseases were stressed. During his rotation in surgery he learned the importance of proper attire, the accepted way to hold and throw the Kelly clamp, and how to perform many heroic and life-saving procedures requiring the highest skill fvenipuncture xl00O, passing NC tubes ad nauseum, and opening a vial of bicarbonate Without cutting his fingersj. The dedication and enthusiasm of the staff impressed the patient very much. The rotation in Ob-Gyn introduced the patient to the soft spoken staff of the department and the hustlers of Baker House. In medicine he learned what he had suspected for a long time-that life really is hard. As the third year of training draws to a close, the patient feels that he is constantly being given diuretics but has no water aboard. Prognosis: As the expected four year survival for the patient is in the range of 9552, it is felt that the prognosis is excellent. Course in Hospital: The patient was given a handful of salt tablets and told to return in three months to begin his fourth year. i. ,. 'i
