NICM ABRQAD 170 Go up country, they said To see the real Africa. For whomsoever you may be That is where you come Hom. Go for bush . . . inside the bush You will find your hidden heart, Your mute ancestral spirit. Abioseh Nicol Thus, in addition to paiticipating in clinical research in oncology, chemotherapy and immunology at the principle investigative center for Burkitt's lymphoma in Kampala, Uganda, I did go up countryf, I went to make house calls on patients discharged to their homes in the bush. As a result, I traversed most of Uganda with an African social worker and learned much of Ugandan culture and philosophy. In addition I learned much of bush medicine from medical assistants at the govern- ment dispensaries. A valuable experience in a world of medicine far different from the one I had previously known. Mary T. Herald The American University Hospital, Beirut, Lebanon, is fully accredited by the various councils of the A.M.A. Its standards and training are comparable to any 435 bed modern teaching hospital in the United States. All the staii' is American Board Certified. For two months in the summer of 1968 I worked in the radiology depart- ment and was much impressed by the facilities which included cardiac catheterization, angio-cardiography, and radio-isotopes. Since it is the only institution in the Middle East equipped for specialized radiology, patients werexreferred there from many countries. The opportunity of meeting medical students from all over the world and being in a country where I had some understanding of the people and culture made the sum- mer in Beirut a very rewarding experience.
