I.U.M.C. 81- 85 Junior year was another world as we entered the domain of THE HOSPITAL full time. Mandatory reading included The House of God, Arrowsmith, and the Wishard map. We learned the true meaning of “scut” firsthand, ran to the lab, performed EKG’s, and attempted to thread IV’s into the rolling veins of 90 year old “LOL’s from the NH with dehydration.” The quiet beauty of summer mornings at 3:45 A.M., when you would jump out of bed to make pre-rounds for Pediatric Surgery — What a wonderful experience. Holding retractors for I)r. Madura built character as well as great arm muscles. Meal tickets at Wishard could buy dinner for six and sleeping at Sunshine Hall was just one step from the great outdoors. There were other advantages too: perfecting ping-pong and volleyball • skills with the Vets at Cold Springs VAH; Watching pit drips on a GlPO for 24 hours, and examining five sets of ears in one room at the Wishard Peds Clinic.
