Introduction to Medicine Sophomore Year — Second Semester One of the unexpected and disturbing re- sults of the development of increasingly precise and useful diagnostic measures in the laboratory and xray departments is a significant and often alarming decrease in emphasis on the training of the medical student to perform with excellence the average comprehensive physical examina- tion. David Seegal Some of us chose a harder course than others. It is extremely difficult for a physician who puts too much trust in what he reads to form a proper decision from what he sees. Andrew Boorde D .TWs traveling-Show The examining physician often hesitates to make the necessary examination because it involves soiling the finger. William J. Mayo A PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS LESSON Dr. Daly, do you have an appointment? Though we name the things we know, we do not necessarily know them because we name them. Homer W. Smith

Sophomore Year Note the fatty metamorphosis. The girls who kept things straight by day take a pause from their writers of type: Pauline May- field, Mary Beth Locke, Lisa Hayes, Loraine Thomas, Barbara Carter, Nancy Thompson, Ann Gaughan G Myrna Carter. This is the Latin term you'll use when you mean 'Your guess is as good as mine'. Genius is one percent in- spiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Thomas A. Edison POST - EXAM DISCUSSION Frosh: but Doctor , why did I fail the exam? Doctor: I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

One of the chief defects in our plan of education in this country is that we give too much attention to developing the memory and too little to developing the mind; we lay too much stress on acquir- ing knowledge and too little on the wise application of knowledge. William J. Mayo Have you noticed, when they are strong in hearts, they casually mention DeBakey or Shumacker?

Study and Booze What a Med Student Do's The nat- ural man has only two primal passions, to get and to beget. Sir William Osier ‘ jThe jellevue nT Putting It All Together The most essential part of a student's instruction is obtained, as I believe, not in the lecture room, but as the bed- side. Nothing seen there is lost; the rhythms of disease are learned by fre- quent repetition; its unforeseen occur- ences stamp themselves indelibly in the memory. Oliver Wendell Holmes Some of us had wives for dummies; others, dummies for wives. Anyone who maintains calm in the midst of medical school's confusion simply does not understand the situation. Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a sub- sistence. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The First HGP: According to your symptoms, you've been dead for 4 hours.
