lnternes Message July the Hrst. A hot, sultry, typical midfsummer day. It was our first real contact with the practical side of hospital life, and our first insight into hospital mechanism. Then the truly wonderful discovery that for twentyffour hours a day, it revolves around a large efficient corps of nurses, which heretofore had been considered in name only. The word had no special significance other than someone to be watched to be sure that they did not underestimate us, or to use the vernacular, show us up. Suspicious humans, we great old experif enced internes! However, as the days in their peculiar habit progressed, we began to look upon nurses in a different light, for the mechanism was not being disrupted by the insertion of new cogs, but still carried on in the same smooth manner. Nurses helping internes. As we look back now, we find that no one tried to domineer us, but that through them we had learned much regarding sepsis, asepsis, the proper method of gowning and gloving and many little points in redressing. Also, we had received many helpful hints about the technique which one staff man used and how it differed from others. We, as you, are young and have much to learn. Any suggesf tions which you may care to venture, we are sure will be taken in the same spirit as you have offered them. We know your task is not an easy one, in fact it is a trying one. Your position is precarious, for many people fail to realize that there are two sides to every quesf tion. You are young and have emotions. You can be happy, laugh or cry. You have sorrows that must be hidden . . . all of which indicate that you are human and not automaton. Lastly your present life, as is ours, is your own choosing. So to you-the nursesw-we greet you with respect and admiraf tion, and find it a pleasure to work with you. To the class of '3S- may Dame Fortune hover above you and the Goddess of Love be ever at your side! C'est fini. THE INTERNES. 19
