V-,ryp win To Dr. David Seegal, this yearbook is dedicated with deep and abiding appreciation. Generations of physicians are grateful for your guidance and teaching. You have given us a new conception of the physician's role, as teacher and communicator as well as healer. You have provided new implements for the doctor's bag: the Golden Rule, the open mind, the ability to say Ml don't know. Your enthusiasm is infectious, your standards for the practice of medicine are impec- cable. Your optimism and puckish wit have in- spired us. If we fail to live up to your precepts, the fault will lie not in our stars but in ourselves. 5 LESS MAYBE MORE On walking by the Dean's office and hearing the first whirring of the IBM ma- chine being programmed to determine one's superannuation date, a number of past experiences take on a special clarity. It is tempting to comment on these ex- periences although one questions whether they will be of interest to others and whether the passage of time will permit ac- curate recollection. But relief comes to the oldster as he realizes that a compensa- tion of advanced age is the ability to re- member sharply the distant past although assistance is required to remember where his stethoscope has been left an hour earl- ier. The aging physician will, therefore, ac- cept the challenge of retrospection: He will even go further and since the nature of his calling encourages a degree of boldness he will not hesitate to grasp the horns of all the bulls in sight and teeter between the two epigrams of Henry Brooks Adams: 'GA teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. L'N0thin.g is more tiresome than a superannuated pedagoguefi Thinking back to the teaching of my preceptors in medicine, I recollect many pithy gems of advice which seem as valid today as when I first heard them years ago. Outstanding among the remembrances at this writing were those key utterances of my teachers which led me to change direc- tion, pace, or stride in the endless intel- lectual relay race, medical learning. The most meaningful and lasting educational favors had two components: They were By David Seegal brief and startlingly pertinent, thus an- ticipating Mies van der Roheis maxim 'gLess is More, and they often involved me emotionally. I well remember an instance when, as an interne, I had spent the night caring for a patient in diabetic coma and appeared on morning rounds without having prepared an adequate report on another patient under discussion. Unshaven and feeling very noble indeed for my ministrations to the diabetic girl, I apologized to the at- tending physician in tones of martyrdom for not being prepared to present an ad- equate work-up', on the second patient. I was alternately crushed and frozen when this doctor looked me straight in the eye, pointed to the bed and said: This patient is not interested in your diabetic. How right he was! I had not yet learned how to apportion my hospital responsibilities. That single sentence so electrified my clinical reflexes that when on future occasions I was about to repeat my miscalculations of time devoted to the management of multiple patients, the specter of that scene at the bedside would be recreated and haunt me. During another experience I learned a lesson in a minute or two which countless other teaching hours had failed to provide. Stopping outside a room occupied by a hopelessly ill patient, the house staff mem- ber advised the attending physician that little would be gained by the visit: there was nothing to offer the patient. The at- tending physician demurred and said that her would certainly see the patient, stating: x .cr .-lbore: Dr. See-gal addressing a P and 5 Club conference An effort should be made to assist each patient to feel somezchat the better for the visit, irrespective of the patientis statusf, That sentence has never left me and I have been ever grateful for that experience which has assisted me from shirking a duty and service which should be in the marrow of every physician. A recent exclamation by an eminent Greek scholar: 'cjust think, my finger prints are different from everyone elsels in the world, led me to a keener apprecia- tion of the specificity of each individual and produced a vivid recollection of a dramatic episode in my student days. Vilhen the burden of disease accentuates the uniqueness of each human being, the physician's radar apparatus receives a design unlike any he has seen before: his failure to respond appropriately makes him less than the Hgood doctor. This pattern of conduct took on special meaning during a rounds with one of my revered teachers. who was in the last stages ofa malignancy. A house ollicer tried to conserve the at- tending physit-ian's strength by suggesting that he might pass by the next patient. who had a typical right lower lobe pneumoc- occal pneumonia. Our preceptor. however. stopped short at the bedside and said: :'Ofcourse, I shall eramine the patient and listen to his chest: although I have ausculted thousands of lungs l have never heard tzco which sounded alike. Needless to say. we students were shaken by this magnificent show of courage and discipline. Our teach- er's example was not only an inspiration but served to make us appreciate the wide spectrum of clinical signs which can be produced by a single pathologic process. This perceptive bedside teacher's concern for the patient stimulated the latent clinicianship of the students. In caring for the elderly sick one's youthful diagnostic and therapeutic en- thusiasm sometimes leads to the use of inadvisable or questionable heroic meas- lflonlinued on page Bl ' 'iq' ' V 'i 'I' 'f .Q mf 4 ,- 0, - h ith '1--A ' x 1,.t , .I - l fo' ' L4 : is .-ilzore: Dr. Beatrice Seegal. Dr. David and lion cub at the Rome ZUD. Less May Be More lContinued from page 73 ures. This activity evoked the following response from one of my teachers: The principle of minimal interference is para- mount in the management of the elderly patientfi It became clear to me that the older an individual, the less his way of life should be disturbed. Interference or destruction of an established way of living may result in confusion or tragedy. The young, amorphous personality, usually can be vigorously molded without danger. In contrast, the older, more rigid person- ality is like a crystal, easily shattered by ill-considered impacts. One of my teachers, who never seemed hurried yet accomplished much, helped me to learn how to be reasonably effective in another aspect of the physician's duties. Pointing to his desk he said: As the dayis problems accumulate, I have three piles of work in front of me: first you tackle the one about which you can make immediate decisions, get it done and over with, then after appraising the second pile, contain- ing insufficient data, arrange for the col- lection ofthe required missing information, finally there is the third pile of imponder- ables which should be filed or thrown into the basket: above all, don't waste any time on themf' This program permits increased energy and time for the more important responsibilities of the day. One of the most useful sentences I was ever to hear as a medical student occurred when my preceptor and kind friend re- marked: 4'The job of the physician as a physician and educator is not just to tell but to convincef' He went on to impress us, as students, that our self-interest would be best served if we took the major re- sponsibility for active learning rather than depending upon passive teaching from out- side sources. This exhortation on the im- portance of the 'convincingi rather than the laissez-faire 'tellingl approach has been tested and proved of value through my experiences. Some of the most effec- tive teaching maneuvers directed to us as students and internes were not long, often laborious lectures but short bursts of dis- tilled wisdom, offered at an appropriate time. During one morning's rounds with a very thoughtful physician I received two pieces of advice which again illustrate the po- tential educational effectiveness of the short, arresting sentence, presented at a critical moment. In the course of the visit one of the patients bluntly asked this at- tending physician about the chances of his recovery from what appeared to be a hopeless illness. The preceptor answered the various questions masterfully without committing himself to a dire prognosis and left the patient with a ray of hope. On re- tiring from the bedside I expressed my amazement and admiration at the skilfull- ness with which the questions had been fielded to the apparent satisfaction of the patient. My teacher responded with two catalytic sentences which have become useful blocks in my own substrate of management: Before you tell the 'truthl to the patient, be sure you know the truth, and that the patient wants to hear it. Patients and their families will for- give you'for wrong diagnoses, but will lConlinued on page 841 The Class of 1963 College of Physicians and Surgeons ' in-- , .un 3 Q- bv- IO M.

Severing- haus greeted the Class of 1963 of the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons on a humid September evening in 1959. Over the next four years we were to demonstrate unity and diversity as we pursued the thorny path which soon will end with the recital of the Hippocratic Oath and the singing of Stand Columbia. The history of a class is a tenuous and fragile thing into which is interwoven one-hundred and twenty in- dividual stories converging to form those palpable moods or events which may be designated, in retrospect, landmarks Here are some of those landmarks. The first year was hectic and trying. We expected to be handed stethoscopes, otoscopes and patients. Instead we heard the following: HHeterolactic bacteria catalyze analogous reactions between acetaldehyde and pyruvate - carbamino - CO is also liberated in conversion of hemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin-when the sarcoplasm is distributed irregularly, the fibrils appear in groups known as Cohn- heimis fields-the nucleus posteromar- ginalis fnucleus magnocellularis pericorn- ualisj-appreciate the gluteus maximus- Z-Hat is significant to P of .05 if we apply the chi squaref, We were bombarded with facts: bludgeoned by facts: titillated, amused, angered, wrought emotionless by facts. Facts came in various sizes, shapes and accents. We walked through a labyrinth dotted with figures who con- SPIRIT OF '63-Myron Lewis confronts the facts. fused, confounded or illuminated. In this maze certain figures stand out in bas- relief. Dr. Rittenbergis mustache, cigar and showmanship introduced a touch of Groucho into his scholarship. He used a deck of cards, shattered eggs and snatches of Alice in Wonderland to explain the con- cept of entropy. An iconoclastic German biochemist, Erwin Chargaff, in a series of spell-binding lectures introduced us to the new frontier of DNA, goo-a-nene, zy-to-zene and calf ty-moose. Dr. Copen- haver taught us what a slide looked like by drawing one on the blackboard- if you have any diHiculty understanding thisf' he added, it is well-covered in my book. Dr. Pappas squawked, harangued and howled his way through the world of the electrawn microscope and the GAWLCIE BAWDIES-we soon learned that the latter referred to components of a cell rather than a house. Anatomy was a world unto itself. On the Hrst day of the course. Dr. Elftman as- sured us. Cunningham's text is complete, I have little to add-my lectures will be mere comments. tand they werel. Dr. Elftman's athetoid movements were a source of wonder and delight-they clearly demonstrated lines of action. Dr. Mel- vin Moss talked about Eskimos and Indians -he even told us about the saphenous vein one day. an obvious concession to the fact that we were taking a course in an- atomy. Drs. Noback, and Carpenter led the march from coccyx to cortex with stops and excursions along the way. ln physiology we learned the principles of animal torture from Dr. Root. Dr. Chien assisted us in mastery of the mechanics of salivation. Dr. Cizek's lengthy disserta- tion on renal physiology continued for nine innings. Dr. Gregersen looked on, in- voking Claude Bernard and Walter.Cannon. The first year culminated in the class show, an epic entitled Murder of an Anatomy. written by Messrs.

The second year may be remembered as the year the class turned from its books to other pursuits: marriage and politics. While statistics are unavailable, 1960-61 was the peak year for class matrimony. Acrimonious political debate also threat- ened to burst class unity asunder: but we held together in the face of the common enemy-pathology, microbiology, phar- macology. A familiar scene is remembered: It is Friday afternoon in the seventh floor amphitheater. Dr. Elvin Kabat, a gleam in his eye, stands at the lectern clutching a class list.

A collective sigh of relief is breathed as Dr. Harry Rose launches into a lengthy elegant dissertation. The afternoon ends with Dr. Sam Beiser who will repeat for the sixth time, a lecture on viral genetics. During the second year we witnessed the passing of a pathology department, and we gratefully filed away the pencil sharp- eners. Dr. McKay was clearly a new man -'LC is an excellent grade at P and S, he told us, and he proved his point. Phar- macology brought us a new lexicon of terms, formulae and physiology-we might still prescribe the home remedies, but we would understand them. Dr. Wang, in his inscrutable manner, made the comment of the year. When a student was unable to discuss sacral parasympathetic function, Dr. Wang queried Hwassa matter, you married boy? By March a harried, haggard Class of ,63 had survived the triple threat and was ready to enter the clinical phase of medical education. Dr. Yale Kneeland personified clinicianship. Wise, witty, sophisticated, he spoke in cultivated mock- ing tones. He taught us to percuss grace- fullyv and to use the 'sinstrument of precis- ion. He counselled us upon bearing and manner, be not gay as a minstrelg above all, a physican is conservative. We pounded, percussed and ausculted each other in the sweatshop and then descended upon the hospitals of New York like vul- tures to practice our new-found art. The WORDS AND NIl.'5lll- L. lu r.

Chino pants were replaced by conventional slacks and even Krick donned a tie tuntil the Ben Casey shirt arrived on the scenel. The last remnant of the pre- clinical years was Dr. Brown's course in parasitology. We were steeped in life cycles and stools. Most memorable was the story of how Dr. Brown and Bennie Oosterbaum fished through the portal of a'n outhouse over a lake in Michigan, thereby becoming unwitting participants in parasitic life cycles.

As we stumbled through our 32 hour day we gradual.ly acquired confidence and new skills: mastery of the venipuncture, the IV and the stool guaiac. Dr. Bradley's rounds were a baptism by fire. The chief of med- icine seemed to have eyes in the back of his head as he would wheel around and fire a question at a sleepy student in the third row- what are the Korotkoff sounds, how many milligrams of potassium in a glass of lime soda, what does nitro- glycerin taste like?,' In pediatrics we were introduced to a new clinical entity-the juvenile crock.

We learned the elements of psychiatric interviewing from Dr. Israel Kesselbrenner Cihow have you beenuj. We took a whirl- wind tour of the specialties and browsed through a wide variety of electives. THE FOURTH YEAR: We had scaled the Empyrean heights: we had ar- rived: everything was coming up roses. The quest for internships dominated the final year. We were told that all Columbia stu- dents ,got at least their second choice, ex- cluding flyers, of course, and we wondered whether all of our selections were flyers.

At Bellevue, we saw enough pathology to sate even the most indomitable clinician. ln pediatrics, we learned to mix intravenous fluids, perhaps the most valuable experience in the fourth year. Memories of the Labor Room are unique for each group. It is impossible to recapture the flavor of the 3 A.M. bridge game, the stat hematocrit at 4 A.M., the stat Frei test at 6 A.M. We have all heard of how Eva Neer's patient delivered on the X-ray table while Eva stood by wonder- ing whether to use her teeth in the absence of a cord set. Memories flood the mind as landmarks pass in review. The future is hazy but we face it with confidence in the strength of our training. We have been enriched by facts, concepts, new reflexes. These are the memories. ROBERT BURD '63 ff AS DR. BONl'l.-SKI WOULD SAY: Dan Musher and Eva Neer. ,fm rf ' 1 gif? .' 5 film 5 ' N 'H J ci ' s. 2 .9 . 43 gg 1 .-- x.

Many may think that P 81 S has always grown by such rational means. However. a look at the history of the College of Physicians and Surgeons will quickly change this impres- sion. Perhaps a brief recapitulation of a few aspects of this history will convey some flavor ofthe early days of the school. In part, the history of P Sr S is. of course, the intricate narrative of the or- ganization and reorganization of the insti- tution. On August 4. 1767 Samuel Clossey, Peter Middleton. John Jones, ,lames Smith, and Samuel Bard petitioned the Governors of Kings College lnow Columbia Uni- versityl to establish a School of Physick . . . to instruct Pupils in the most necessary and useful Branches of Medicine in order to rescue this benificent Branch of Learn- ing from the Obscurity which still con- tinues to veil it in this place. and prevent for the future if possible ye many scanda- lous and pernicious Abuses in the Prac- ticef' Ten days later the Governors of the College noted that the establishment thereby proposed will not only lend to the honor and reputation of this college in particular, but be also a public benefit to society and then established the School with the above men land John Tennentl as the first faculty. In November of that year the School opened and two years later, in a t ai..i.llliil'E,lliQllllPlllllililllll. il lIlllli.'iIIIIliiilllB!:.-2?.l -w l - ' 1 1 -i.,g:L:s 2. :Za ga, lit College of Physicians and Surgeons at 3 Barclay Street. l8l3-1837. 1769, the baccalaureate degrees in med- icine were bestowed upon Robert Tucker and Samuel Kissam. One year earlier. however, the College of Philadelphia llater the University of Pennsylvanial, which had established its medical school in l765, had granted the bachelor's degree in medicine to four men. But the race to give the first doctor of medicine degree was won by Kings Col- lege in 1770 when Robert Tucker was so honored. Thus although not the oldest medical school in this country. Columbia was the first to grant the doctorate in course-a point of an extraordinarily con- tentious nature between Columbia and Pennsylvania at that time and for many years after. Despite the significance of the above ac- complishment, the medical school of Kings College did not fare well in the following years. It was closed, as was all of the Col- lege. during the Revolutionary War and never regained its original impetus after that. Reorganizations were attempted in 178-l and 1792. but after having graduated only twenty-four students in its existence. the school was disbanded in 1813. However. in 1807 a charter establishing a College of Physicians and Surgeons had been gTanted to the Nlctlical Society of the County of New York. The Societyis Presi- dent. Nicholas Romayne. had been peti- tioning the Regents of the State to do this for more than fifteen years. but Kings College had used its then great influence tincluding the word of Alexander Hamiltonl to block the chartering. ln the end it was quite fortunate that the decree of 1807 had at last been issued. for it was to the new College of Physicians and Surgeons that the medical faculty of Kings College trans- ferred in 1813. Forty-seven years later a relationship between the two schools was established when P Sr S became the Med- ical Department of Columbia College. ln- tegation was not really completed until 1891 when P 81 S surrendered its charter. buildings. and endowments to Columbia. However. even then it kept two sacred prerogatives: the right to nominate its own faculty and the right to refuse in- struction to women unless its own faculty consented. The diverse relationships of P 81 S with the hospitals of New York constitute an equally intriguing and important part of its history. Samuel Bard. who had become the Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physick with the opening of the School. delivered a Discourse Upon the Duties of a Physician. with some Sentiments on the Usefulness 85 Necessity of a Public Hospital at the first commencement in 1769. His speech was so moving that those in attendance. including the Governor of New York. Sir Henry Nloorc. subscribed that very afternoon one thousand pounds for tht- erection of the lirst New York hos- pital for the poor. Hy the beginning of the Hevolution the New York Hospital was functioning. despite a catastrophic lire. to treat injured soldiers lof both sidesl. It was here that for many years P 8 S students received most of their clinical instruction. The details of the affiliations of the school with other hospitals, such as Bellevue, St. Lukes. Roosevelt, and Mary lmogene Bassett. are quite interesting but can not be recounted here. However. it should be noted that the agreement he- tween Columbia and Presbyterian Hos- pital. one hundred and fifty years later, which led to the establishment of the present Medical Center occurred despite numerous other proposed types of affilia- tion and locations primarily because of the steadfastness of a few men. especi- ally Edward Harkness. As with the story of any school, that of P81 S is also concerned with the series of buildings it has occupied. Instruction was first held in the main building of Kings College. However. in 1774 we find a peti- it li it i l f ew' if .L .ll ,.,.,,.g .J., .,,. , HL. .M 'yi it Ap .VV 'li-111111 if Milli 1 ale College- building on Fourth Avi-. and Zflrtl Street. 1856-1887 tion of Doctors Clossey, Jones and Bard to allow them to give their lectures in their own homes because the students and faculty found daily attendance in the College Hall lwhich at best is but an un- comfortable placel in the depth of Winter really burthensomef' lntroductory and pub- lic lectures were continued in the main building, however. By 1813 the College had secured an adequate building on Barclay Street ttwo blocks from City Halll after having oc- cupied briefly two smaller structures. With the growth of New York City during the next century, the site of the school stead- ily progressed northward and the buildings grew wider and taller. The building oc- cupied between 1856 and 1887 is of par- ticular note because of the description of it in Edward Trudeauis account of his medical school days. He wrote: the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons was then H8685 a not very imposing institution on the corner of Twenty-third Street and Fourth Avenue, and very appropriately had a drug store and an ice cream saloon oc- cupying the basement of the high-stooped three-story building which was devoted to the uses of the Collegef' That important policies have been strongly influenced by considerations of brick and mortar is well exemplified by a fairly authoritative account of the admis- sion of women to the first year class in 1918. By 1910 the building on 59th Street. which had been constructed twenty-three years earlier, was grossly deficient in laboratory space for all but the oldest sciences of anatomy and physiology. tThis pattern of the capture and then loss of floor space by various departments, with the evolution of medical science, is the theme in the changing design as successive buildings were occupied.l At the same time there was growing pressure from outside and within the University to admit women medical students. Finally in 1916 the faculty agreed to accept women whenever proper physical arrangements could be made for them. It appears that the faculty really wanted new laboratories and was even willing to make this sacrifice to get them. In 1918 a research annex was opened and eleven ta numerical constant?J women were admitted. Another aspect of the history of the properties of P 81 S illustrates the possible utility of rational plans for the future. Al- though Samuel Bard had long been in- terested in botany and its relation to medicine, it was not until David Hosack became Professor of Materia Medica that practical steps were taken to provide facilities for these studies. In 1801 Hosack bought for five thousand dollars the area be- tween 47th and 51st Streets and Middle 15th Avenue! and Albany 16th Avenuel Roads, after having tried unsuccessfully for many years to get the medical school or the State to acquire it. He spent a great deal more money and converted this acre- age into the Elgin Botanical Garden Has a repository of native plants, and as sub- servient to medicine, agriculture, and the artsfi However, the upkeep was too great for Hosack alone and the State finally bought it in 1810 for the benefit of all medical students. Four years later the Car- den was given to P St S when the Regents of the State also found the cost of mainten- ance too great. Gradually interest in med- icinal herbs withered and the College, later .1 'E ES s ': . ,Q ii ii-. 'wie A j .N -',.n ., . lf!-'flfir .NX x ,ft-Im.,u.

Since 1928 the lease of this land to the Rockefeller Center has supplied Columbia University and its medical school with a significant portion of their operating expenses. The dominant role of the personalities of the faculty. administrators, and bene- factors. however, also must not be ne- glected. That from the beginning it was but a few men who shaped the development of the College and made obsolete the existing order will perhaps be better appreciated after two, of many possible, examples. In 1806, after having taken his medical degree at Kings College, Valentine Mott went to Europe to continue his studies in England and France. Three years later, at the age of twenty-four, he returned and feeling the competence of genius peti- tioned the Trustees to allow him to lec- ture and demonstrate in operative surgery. This had never been done before in New York but the Trustees acquiesced, and two years later made him the first Professor of Surgery. This honor did not change him and the remainder of his life was Hlled with activities which included pioneering new operations, robbing graves for anatomical material, and frequent travels garnering positions at other institutions throughout the world. About one-half century later, when Francis Delafield delmarked from his post- graduate studies in Europe. an equally im- portant change in the tide of medical ed- ucation occurred. Delafield returned from Yircliow's laboratory convinced uf the im- portance of the study of pathology at the cellular level. He was instrumental, against much opposition, in freeing the Department of Pathology from being a mere branch of Medicine and helped systematize the ana- tomical study of disease. But more im- portantly. Delafield was convinced of the importance of laboratory work by medical students and with the aid of money from the Alumni Association instituted and directed the first facility at P 81 S where students could appreciate the meth- ods of research and their importance. These notes illustrate, for the most part, that the path of development of the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons has often been much of a surprise. even to its own faculty and administration. But perhaps if one examines the history of any great institution this phenomenon comes to light. The only just view, in any such retrospec- tion, is that expressed by Arthur Purdy Stout: let us not forget that there has been no increase in intelligence and if the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center has a dominant position in world medicine to- day, it is because of the foresight and de- voted labors of our professional fore- fathers whc i... gave the present genera- tion its great opportunities.

A X 79 The Peril of Pragmatism When I was asked to write a short article for the Yearbook I light-heartedly consented, without having any idea of what was to be said, or why. However I believe it is customary, in these circumstances, for the writer to take the shotgun approach to homily and let off both barrels-admoni- tion and advice-at the students, especi- ally those who have nearly finished the long trek through medical school and are about to become his colleagues, i.e., competitors. If this indeed is the custom, I must disregard it. I take for granted that the embryo physician has been, or will be, well brain-washed with viewpoints con- cerning the stature of his profession, the responsibility he assumes to people as well as persons, the changing compound of sci- ence and art that makes medicine some- thing more than just human biology, and the debts of accomplishment he owes to the past and has incurred for the future. These and all related subjects are a happy hunting ground for medical phil- osophers, and deans who must give com- mencement addresses, and of course they are important or I should not treat them so lightly. The student at the end of his fourth year is apt to be a rather blase fellow, lightly touched with cynicism, and on the whole pretty confident of himself, since he knows more of medicine than he ever did before, or ever will again. He is thus able to form By Harry M. Rose a more detached opinion, let us say, of what medicine is all about. But ten-to-one the chances are that if you scratch him you will scratch a technician, not a scientist. The reason for this is not hard to find: technical developments in clinical medicine have outrun the advance of basic knowl- edge in biology-one illustration being the dozens of commonly-used drugs whose way of action is unknown-and even though all biology, including medicine is based on science, the scientific method has certain limits of application. These limits in some areas ipsychiatry is the best examplej Dr. Rose and Dr. Howe entertain at a Bard Hall faculty musicals. are still very narrow and are just begin- ning to enlarge. while throughout clinical medicine the gap between technical and scientific progress is not growing much smaller. In this situation the student. who has been carefully twe trustl taught in his preclinical years to appreciate and understand the rational approach to bio- logic problems. discovers that empiricism is still the clinician's closest friend and that technology has somehow acquired the attributes of science. He notices that there is. inescapably. a lot of technique for techniques sake-as in surgery. He also finds that a good part of specialization in medicine seems to de- pend on segregated technical know-how. so he may wonder. for instance. what the cardiologist would be without the electro- cardiograph, and what might happen to the urologist if he were not sole owner of the cystoscope. Such observations may fail to reach the full level of his consciousness. but they threaten to encourage a pragma- tism which can he l'll1'lllt'l't'tlt'1ltll'LlQIPtl.t'X'l'll ingrained by his later experiences as an interne and resident. Herein lies ti great danger. The pragmatic stance. which must be avoided as the cholera. is tt popular and appealing attitude in medicine: it is simple tbeing based on someone else's ideast. requires only low-gear cerehration. pays off for the doctor as a business man. and even leads to acceptable patient care. But this practicality is perilous because it is concerned mainly with the trivia nl' technique. rather than with general prin- ciples. and therefore becomes incompatible with science. the foundation of medicine. No practical man will ever qualify under Whitehead's definition of the good American doctor. a man who is sceptical toward the data of his own profession. welcomes discoveries which upset his previous hypotheses. and is still animated by human sympathy and understanding.

Peace of mind came my way when l heard a masterful clinician say: This patient should be treated the way you would wish to be treated if you were that patient in that bed at that time. Provided that the physician has a single standard of conduct and the imagination to put himself in the patient's situation, I know of no more useful symbol of manage- ment in the doctor's bag. On the occasions of sharply and almost equally divided pro- fessional opinion as to procedure concern- ing a diagnostic or therapeutic matter, the responsible physician may decide to Hsit tight, but if he chooses to act, he will learn that leaning on the pillar ofthe Golden Rule will give him the most satisfactory support. Thus as the IBM machine continues to whir in the Dean's office and l reflect on the torch of medical education, which each of us holds briefly and then passes on to others, l cannot forget the flammable value of my teachers, educative flashes as ex- pressed by the right sentence at the right time. Those few words often embraced a convincing concept and played a significant role as our instructors strove to bring out our latency, to stretch us, if you will. Some forty years later it is exhilarating to recall those moments of incandescence when suddenly we seemed a bit wiser, a bit more compassionate, even if we did not know and would never know all the answers. ln retrospect it is intriguging to refiect on this dynamic and self-perpetuating edu- cational impact of the brief, pithy, relevant remark at the bedside: multum-in-parvo.

Profile David Seegal's career as physician and teacher has spanned the years of major medical progress in the United States. Born in Chelsea. Massachusetts, in 1899. he was educated at Harvard where he re- ceived his M.D. in 1928. He served as intern and resident at the Presbyterian Hospital and was ap- pointed lnstructor in Medicine in 1930. In 194-2 he was appointed director of the First Medical Divis- ion. Coldwater Memorial Hospital. During the war years he also acted as consultant on epidemic diseases to the Secretary of War. He studied twith Arthur Wertheim and his wife Beatrice Carrier Seegalt the etiology of glomeruls nnephritis. especially helping to elucidate the identity of the nephritogenic strains. At Goldwater, he built the Columbia unit into a major research adjunct of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, ,ia Zi if the principles guiding the good physician are the same uni surrounding himself with such noted clinicians and investigators as Arthur Patek, Forrest Kendall, Quentin Deming, Hylan Bickerman. Dr. Pateks in- vestigation of the nutritional etiology for cirrhosis is probably the major contribution to emerge from the Goldwater studies. Above all, Goldwater has been a training ground for the student. Both Dr. Seegal and Dr. We-rtheim have made teaching the core of the Goldwater pro- gram. Feeling that they must stretch the capacity of the individual student to bring out his latent talents, they provide an arduous teaching program. Dr. Seegal's career also includes the editorship of the journal of Chronic Disease and membership in innumerable organizations including: The Harvey Society, American Society for Clinical Investiga- tion. Subcommittee on Internships and Resident-ies of the Association of American Medical Colleges, Committee on Medical Education of the New York Academy of Medicine. Thi is a capsule... , c lx 'A LJ, W..

Vicale Harry B. van Dyke Arthur R. Wertheim GENESIS .-Xt the great Embryonal Softball Came. Where a covey of blastulae swarmed on the grass And a morula-batsman took careful aim At each sphere that was flung by the Second Year Class There most of us sprawled on the grass far from harm And reached for a sandwich with psf-udopod-arm. But the great white citadel, massive and tall Flung open the gates in its uterine wall. We began to develop. one cell at a time, And metabolized sugar and synthesized fat. So each nucleus bathed in a fluid sublime With reticular nets. and a wall around that . . . But the tissues broke loose in an organless swarm And we lined our intestines before they could form. And the great white citadel shining andfresh, Became filled with a mass of disorganized flesh So we built up a body, slowly. with love With skin on the top. and some muscles between: We covered each hand with a tendinous glove And next to each stomach inserted a spleen And we started to circulate. breathe and feel pain. And then in a pot. we discovered our brain! But the great while citadel tower of pride, Threw open its gates. and flung us outside. We wandered for months in a torment of fears Imperfect and groping and feeling perplexed For many of us were still lacking our ears And we could not form urine one day to the next. And the towering citadel answered our call. Reimplanting us in its decidual wall. But the great white citadel loathing to please, Barraged all of us with a storm of disease. We hacked with pneumonia. our breaths became foul. Herpetic eruptions disfigured each face. Serpentine tapeworms traversed every bowel And we grew granulomas all over the place. Our skin was infected with fungus and fleas And psoriasis crusted our elbows and knees. And the great white citadel nursed us each day, As our cancerous bodies collapsed in decay. lVe tasted the pharmacological stream. But it swept us away in a chemical flood Which floated us on in a heroin dream While chloromycetin disfigured our blood. And we lived now each day in a tremulous fear Of nausea, vomiting . . . diarrhea. .-lnd the great white citadel, proud ofour bloom Threw us naked into an eiramining room. We rushed to each other with stupilied awe, Astonished by acres of glistening skin. We pounded upon each thoracic door And listened to murmurings creep from within And then. in our nakedness struck out to find Deep in the citadel. more of our kind. .4nd the great white citadel let us explore, And put us to work in its microscope corps. We were hardier now. and we shouldered the task. Arm linked to arm in our laboring camp, Though our eyes lstill unformedb were not made to bask ln the merciless light of a microscope lamp. But we counted the white cells and stared at the blood, Till our minds had submerged in a polka-dot flood. And the great white citadel announced it would seek To warmly endeavor to teach uns to speak. So once every week. and one by one. We struggled to hit upon something to say. And the speech teacher rarely would praise what we'd done But woe to the man who stuttered that day. And though this would give us a week's worth of fright, Every day yet another would teach us to write. And the great white citadel, bristling with pride, Decided to scatter usfar and wide. We wandered determined mile after mile: Though limited by our umbilical cord, We voyaged to fabulous Coldwater Isle And the jungles of Bellevue Emergency Ward. But far as we wandered and faint though our track The great white citadel drew us all back. And the great white citadel glistening and bright Taught us to write, and to write, and to write. And then the day came when the great shining womb, Felt painful contractions and wriggled about. Was confined for two weeks in a great labor room. Where it slowly prepared to push each of us out. And then, like a pod. it exploded with birth To disseminate us to the ends ofthe earth. And now the great uterus, sullen and mute, Must sink to the pavement to involute. Martin P. Geller Robert M.
