This diploma is a milestone in our careers, but wait, beyond is the cold, cruel world with no more Gl checks or parental benevolence,- but who are we to worry, we can face the world unafraid with our one acquired green syringe. Our developmental age ranges from the chillun, whose anterior fontanelles are not yet closed, to the fellows who just discovered that half the people in the world are women, on to the majority of us whose average is thirty, waistlines forty-four, and with a startling incidence of alopecia totalis. From the beginning of the year our professional dignity was enhanced by the addition of white trousers and the casual question, Where are you going to intern? All dispositions were improved by the return to nine o ' clock classes, a month of elective, and the psychiatry service; but came the bitter with the sweet: Saturdays in the Pit, beaucoup CBC ' s, twenty-four-hour stats, and blood pressure q fifteen minutes. It wasn ' t easy, but we covered everything from Ayerza ' s Disease through periarteritis nodosum to xanthomatosis. We did strike out, however, on a few of the more common maladies — remember phlegmonous gastritis and Letterer Siwe ' s Disease? The Home Care Service, which was introduced this year, was designed to give us a glimpse into General Practice of Medicine and was thoroughly enjoyed by all as the majority of us intend to be G. P. ' s. What a Utopia! I Where else could you get two city doctors to call on you for free? Our history has been written,- the physical examination con- cluded; we at last come to our prognosis. To borrow a few famous phrases we can say, I ' m not at all certain, but I, myself, feel t is excellent. What do you think? You ' re the Doctor! t otw ax in ' M f i {25}
