DEDICATION R. R. Hughes, M.D. INCE the days of Hippocrates the practice of Medicine has been built upon the ideals of service and sacrifice. To these have been added an ever increasing mountain of knowledege and skills. It is the doctor’s duty to focus these on one individual and with due regard for the complexity of the patient’s being, to assist him back to physical and mental health. Fully aware of these problems and responsibilities, Dr. Hughes has helped to establish the position of the family physician in this community. Never forgetting to treat t he patient as well as the disease and always willing to aid with their personal problems and conflicts, he has written his name deeply in the fleshy tablets of many hearts. During his 37 years of practice in Calgary Dr. Hughes has won the respect of those who know him. As the true family doctor he is always willing to meet the challenge of this position with untiring energy and patience. He gave generously of his time to instruct the nurses in this hospital. His attitude of respect and understanding always wins their loyalty. His work on the staff of the hospital, the Cancer Clinic, and the Calgary Medical Society Executive demonstrates his public spirited service and the confidence of his associates. It is with pleasure that we dedicate this volume to Dr. Hughes, a physician ancj friend.
