Senior surgery is the preceptor yeor, Wherever he is, we will be neor. Run, scrub, cut, ond more, To hold retroctors is whot we're for. Some students elected to poss some gos And they possed it well, in order to poss. Some people took plumbing on ci bet, And rolled up their trousers, so they wouldn't get wet. Neurosurgery wos much lobor, But which mony students reolly did sovor. Sowing ond costing enticed o few, Although it's o field thot is not new. 9111 M-fwMWf'2i2'1+f f' Soon o finol we oll did hove, Which we took in the phormocology lob. ls thot regression?

September i963 and we were in the promised land of the Senior Year. The world was our apple. We marveled a bit at the difference . . . that the moonlighting experience of iunior internships had wrought in the appearance and mannerisms of our fellow classmates. The boys were beginning to look like Doctors. And the talk . . . ln my clinical experi- ence-' '... , and, So I told the Chief- ,... and thus . . . all the imperceptible changes which had been going on for three years had crystallized over the iunior vacation. Senior medical affiliations afforded an excellent opportunity to see how medicine is practiced outside the lvory Tower . PGH was a zoo of pathology. Harrisburg was a high pressure service - up at l0-ll a.m. every day, work up 3 patients in 4 weeks, touch football along the Susquehanna with the student nurses as cheerleaders, Harry's at lO o'clock every night, occasionally, a trip to Martin's for wining and danc- ing. After the H'burg affiliation, Veteran's provided a rest. Here were a multitude of palpable livers, esophageal varices, and bleeding ulcers, but with no interns here, it was go man go - pass tubes, drains, spinal taps, liver biopsies - all tax free! The senior student, veteran of modern mid-wifery, as taught at The Hahnemann, goes to his attiliation with confidence born of excellent, exhaustive and -ing training. Here, lessons about misplaced placentas, premature separations, and rupture of marginal sinuses assume vital significance in differential dx. Here, also, are lessons in philosophy, sociology, and communication. Martha Washington Smith, lno relation to A. L Smith, with melenal age Scream follows scream. Bear down like you're going to move your bowels, honey, and l'll - NURSE! Didn't she have an enema? Millimeter by millimeter, hour by hour, finally station by station until - eye glued to the introitus you have the feeling that you're being watched - YOU ARE - another eye. Lights, carrier, rush instructions - Don't strain, don't bear down, don't belch, don't cough, don't breathe - Easy now Table, stirrups, water, scrub, gown, gloves, drape, cover, basin, stool - stool? Quick, towel, scissors, left mediolateral, haircut-haircut? Modified Ritgen, aspirator, rotate, slushpop - Wraaaci!l Clamp, clamp, cut, blanket, crede', clip, alcohol,binder. Third stage? What's that? - Oh, I see, it's in the bucket there. Then in scholarly and soothing tones, he purrs, But honey, I have to mash down on your belly to get all the clobs out of your virginia.
