SPECIAL DELIVERY AND GENERAL . DEPARTMENT OF WOMEN .xxx It's 4:00 A.M. Sunday and the lab work has been com- pleted on Paula Primigravida. The fetascope is placed on the patient's abdomen and a spine tingling A-h-h-h is uttered. Had she delivered? Behind him stood Pen- man M.D. the Temple Flash, bow-tie et al. The following A.M. MacFayden M.D. enters and asks, '4How are you going to make the diagnosis?', The stammering junior replies, Careful history, PE and pelvic examination, appropriate lab tests, x-ray and endocrine studies, biological tests for pregnancy, espe- cially if she's in the child bearing age. Smiling reply, L'Yes, yes, go on. 5:00 P.M. Monday and still no baby. But now in the delivery room, Paxson, M.D., the great fox hunter and president of the bank enters rubbing his lapels, Of what must we be suspicious? Afibrinogenemia, Doctor, afibrinogenemialr' Reishstein, M.D.: LBe prompt at lectures, doctor. I come-two minutes early and if you can't get there by 8:30, don't come. Seitchik, M.D.: I still think small ears are the best. Qeven when they have pedals?j. Hunter, M.D.: Son, here are some seeds to be planted -llj an empty uterus does not bleed 121 no pregnant woman ever bleeds normally 13D good girls bleed, bad girls don't bleed. Pontarelli, M.D.: Take it easy, doctor. Everything s going to be all right. And so it was- N. F. Paxson, Professor of Obstetrics and B. V. MacFadyen, Professor of Gynecology. Oh, doctor, don't crush me!! Drs. Reishstein, Hunter and Penman. Q X V s I i sat -1 DEPARTMENT or OBSTETRICS Newlin F. Paxson, Professor and Head of the Department Cinical Professors: H. L.

Lima GENITO-URINARY SURGERY Each specialty has its particular aroma, so to speak, and who can forget the eau de urology which pervades fifth main? Sounding the depths of this specialty during the third and fourth years, we quickly learned the litany of hematuria- stone, tumor, T.B.,' Silently resolving eternal purity fat least until the weekendf we observed the time honored remedy for sins long past and uttered a fer- vent plea of thanks for penicillin. lf E. 0. Ceckler, M.D., Professor of Orthopedic Surgery I ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY Bodies encased in molluskoid sheaths of plaster or trans-fixed on frames mildly remi- niscent of a medieval torture chamber are all a part of the practice of orthopedics. Cn rounds, the pedagogery was often caustic., always effective and accompanied by the soft scrape of a penknife and a whistled obligatto. To our surprise and pleasure we found that college physics was not a complete waste and patience is often rewarded with a crooked limb made straight and a broken body made whole.
