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?

THE CHILD OF THIS NIGHT . . . LIKE THOSE OF YESTERDAY IN Drs. Greenspan, Rosenberg, Downing, Brelian, Fischer, Viek, Gregg, Valerio, and Hubsher. PEDIATRICS Assorted sounds and smells, dampened ties and grim determination are the pediatrician's lotg one which we were privileged to share for a short while during the third and fourth years. Fumbling bachelors gazed with admiration as their more experienced colleagues changed didies, computed formulas and soothed fretful infants with the finesse that comes of paternity. St. Lukes, P.G.H., Fife Hammell, Mt. Sinai, Sayre and Harrisburg supplemented the teaching program with widely varying results.
