Have your stools changed color re- cently? During our Saturday morn- ing correlation clinics, someone would always ask this, THE ques- tion. If any patient who agreed to meet the young doctors had any reservations about the ability of our class to deal with the fundamental issues of life, surely THE question dispelled all doubt. The asking of THE question was a dramatic mo- ment. But there were countless other unforgettable performances which lent to each Saturday the ex- citement of a Broadway opening. At the very first clinic, the guy sitting next to me tainted. As the gory Kod- achromes flashed by, some mem- bers of the audience wished they had eaten less for breakfast and at least a half dozen marched out the front door, suddenly remembering an urgent appointment in the men's room! This is what the critics call impact . But next week's drama stirred up even more autonomic activity. The Duke of Francis Street single- handedly took on a whole platoon of fourth-year students, house-officers, and surgical colleagues, reducing them to whimpering children, shell- shocked and babbling. In the weeks that followed, still other golden moments stand out. One day, as the fatherly nephrologist and his pretty chronic uremic patient took questions from the floor, a lone voice of fate intoned, How long can you keep a person alive on chronic dialysis? One hundred and twelve stomachs bounced. On another oc- casion, a sweet, white-haired lady with cholestatic jaundice informed us that she had imbibed an elixir of youth made from bull's balls. It was the first and last time l saw the girls in our class blush. - Bruce Fi. Leslie I8 John W. Burch Judith L. Alexander 9434 Harvey Goldman
