and embarrasment of circulation to the gluteal area, and so was con- tinued. In addition, the patients were taken to the pharmacology lab- oratories for several hours daily, where they were used to study certain pharmacologic reactions, such as the reaction of medical students to rat bites, cat scratches, third-degree burns of the forehead, 10,000 volts from a shocking machine, and chicken dung. Gunn's mixture was supplied for sedation when necessary, and its soporiflc effect was augmented by stuffing the patients into a hot, dark room and placing poorlyffocused pictures of pathological specimens be- fore them. Since the above regimen left the patients with nothing to do for three out of every twenty-four hours, they were subjected to extensive bacteriological study, and the cultures thus obtained consistently grew out pure colonies of alphafhemolytic Staphylococcus contaminata. Be- cause of this, a suspension of GebhardtfMarcus reagent was poured into the left ear of each patient and permitted to flow out the right ear, care being taken that none was retained or absorbed. Toward the end of the second year, the patients were frequently observed milling about the hospital attired in neck ties and white coats, thinking they were doctors. The hospital staff deemed it advisable to permit these delusions to continue-hence, the patients were allowed the privilege of wearing stethescopes and rectal gloves with license to auscultate, percuss and digit-alize at will. At the beginning of the third year, the patients were transferred to the Salt Lake County General Hospital where they were moved around from service to service, earning their keep by doing blood counts, rhu- barb titers, fecal geranium levels and other vital laboratory work. While on the medical service the patients were attended by Drs. Wintrobe, Cartwright, Hecht, Tyler, lager, Waldo, and by members of the junior staff. Their stay on this service was dotted with many un- forgetable highlights. Cn rounds, a fortunate member of the group would occasionally be given the opportunity of impressing a member of the senior staff with the extent of his medical knowledge. The staff man was often so impressed that he would find it difficult to control himself. Treatment while on the surgical service was directed by Drs. Price, Moretz and Shaffer along with the residents and interns. Day after day our heroes were taken to an arena called the O.R. where they en- gaged in a competitive sport known as a scrub In this game, a patient, first rendered unconscious by allowing him to breathe no more then 576 Ai
