An ancient Babylonian legend has it that Chaos was a female dragon named Tiamat who was vanquished, but not slain by the god Nlarduk. The victorious lVlarduk proceeded to bring order to all things and set the stars, fashioned the earth and planned man's affairs. The resourceful Chaos!Tiamat, however, periodically returns to challenge the ordered serenity as evidenced by upheavals, earthquakes, hurricanes, epidemic, starvation, disorder, tumult and dissent. The dragon is subdued again and again and though many look upon her as the essence of evil, the famous American artist Ben Shahn eloquently defends Chaos!Tiamat as the bold provocateur who bestirs some men to noble deeds. We in medicine know full well of the frequent thrusts of the intransigent dragon. We retaliate with courage and ingenuity and discover antibiotics, decipher genetic codes, develop sophisticated means of birth control, transplant organs and constantly devise better means of preserving the state of health. Yet, the population explosion threatens us, transplants are rejected, epidemics recur, organisms become resistant and, most significantly, the failure to develop and apply effective preventive methods and adequate health care persists. How are these challenges to be met? I have little doubt that regardless of the nature of the curriculum most scientific mysteries will be solved. But what of the social obligations of the profession? Needed are changes in attitude and emphasis, and creative concepts of medical care. Teacher-Learner experiences must become even more intimate, exciting and frequent. Skills, facts and technology must be exquisitely seasoned with knowledge and wisdom and greater balance among the disciplines is necessary as we teach, administer to the sick and pursue research. Closer personal contacts are needed to foster mutual trust and understanding that will permit controversy, dissent and agreement to flourish in an atmosphere devoid of fatuous self-pride and spurious omniscience. We in medicine have built a successful profession, but not, as yet a successful culture. Much depends on our ability to thwart the disruptive thrusts of the ubiquitous dragon. Take heed, lest the resilient Chaos!Tiamat return to slay the god lVlarduk! George J. Baylin Nl.D. Professor, Division of Radiology
