OBSTETRICS AND GYNECCJLCDG

Page 42 text:

The Ob-Gyn Department's activities began during second year Physical Diagnosis at St. Elizobeth's Hospital. The instruc- tions in diagnostic techniques and a brief exposure to the problems of labor and delivery were followed by some limited practical experience during our iunior clerkship at the some hospital. Although a hands off attitude prevailed, we gleaned an occasional service case. Other aspects such as Dr. Andreson's coffee rounds and Dr. Clitheroe's iournies on the hormonal path through the garden of A. O. will remain foremost in our memories. However, we felt then that there was always next year. Senior year arrived and, having heard ot the knowledgable and willing house staff and the activity at Martland, we an- ticipated the encourited with enthusiasm and pruritis digiti. Although the house staff's teaching left something to be desired, on the delivery floor things were hectic. The penthouse or bullpen was always a hotbed of controversial issues until someone knocked on the door and said, Warm up, next one's yours. The other rings of activity, namely the Gyn ward and the clinics were less hectic but informative. In addition to our exposure to the subiect, one cannot omit mentioning exposure to men such as Dr. Riva, a physician and teacher admired by all. Those of us who knew Dr. Breen can- not help realizing the loss to the school which his departure meant. Before we knew it, our introduction to Ob-Gyn had come to a close. For those entering the speciality it was a beginning, and to the rest of us a memorable experience. A1 l J JAMES L. BREEN, M.D. l - . ..4 .A ll. , H . M41 rx W, it Q A t ZDENEK KUBES, Mp, HAROLD A.
