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.

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.

Clinical Science Junior and Senior Years Man is a Complex Being Requiring Ultra- Specialits to Service Him Inttrnirt Q eolc tt Vtx-I r Suiyo Medical practice is not knitting and weaving and the labor of the hands, but it must be inspired with soul and be filled with under- standing and equipped with the gift of keen observation; these to- gether with accurate scientific knowledge are the indispensable requisites for proficient medical practice. Maimonides (Moses ben Maimo) One of the first things you learn on the wards . . . It was so good of you to come, Nurse! You know that medicines when well used restore health to the sick: they will be well used when the doctor to- gether with his understanding of their nature shall understand also what man is, what life is, and what constitution and health are. Know these well and you will know their opposites; and when this is the case you will know well how to devise a remedy. Leonardo da Vinci We hoped for topless nurses, but had to settle for bottom- less patients.
