THIS NlGHT'S EMERGENCIES K 0 1. Ted, how many times have I told you to stay away from the prostate. Paul, are you sure all the seniors were in accident ward this past week? Q Q .

' X X Again a new year and surgery became a matter of minor procedures of major import. A week spent in Emergency ward gave us a chance to turn our hand at embroidery and afforded a panoramic View of life in the raw, proving to all that the best of friends wield a mean razor. Clinics were busy, varied with all the little problems that beset the practi- tioner: bandages refused to stay neat, abscesses formed despite the 600,000 units of penicillin, and sore toes stayed sore, hot soaks not withstanding. Unnais paste boot was fashionable footwear and gauze turbans marked those whose Saturday night was more wild than wise. Lipomas vanished and cysts relin- quished themselves to our ready knives, as with waxing knowledge we were allowed to do a little more than observe. Rotation through -the surgical subspecialties gave us, at one time or another, fleeting glimpses of pathology at the ends of the GI tract, an opportunity to exercise a massaging forefinger, and an idea of how to build new faces from old. The eyes had it on opthalomology and the ears on E.N.T. A week at Hamburg taught us that M. tuberculosis is still very much with us and deserving of our profound respect. A month at one or the other of Hahnemann's surgical affiliates rounded out the trimester, while we indulged in an orgy of plagerism preparing scholarly tomes on one obscure subject or another. So we came to the end of our under- graduate training in surgery, some to go on to a career of scalpeling, others to ever more supply the traction. Axel Olsen, M.D. ment of Neurosurgery
