At the heart of medicine must dwell an abiding concern for the welfare of patients. Unfortunately, the wisdom of this premise has not always been honored-especially of late. Without question, the emergence of medicine as a science and the increasing pre-occupation of medical educators with research have spawned a climate highly favorable to the ad- vancement of knowledge. Nevertheless, this has been a mixed blessing, for it has also produced a waning of that precious element of personal regard for human suffering which characterized the physician of yore. lronically, in producing better scientists our schools of medicine have often created diminished physicians. The shift emphasis from concern for the sick individual to concern about his disease has been gradual, subtle, and doubtless unintentional, but it has not gone unnoticed. Indeed it is the basis for most of the dissatisfaction of patients with the present state of medical care. Still, there is hope on the horizon. Exhortations for a change in attitude are becoming increasingly evident from within medical ranks as well as from without, and it is heartening that among the loudest of voices raised in protest are those of the current generation of medical students. This bodes well for the future. ln the final analysis, the patient is truly the tulcrum of medicine. Physicians and students alike must never lose sight of this, for dedication to the cause of patients is at once the source of great strength to the profession as well as the key to lasting personal satisfaction for those who labor in its vineyard.

Who can forget his first introduction to acute medicine on 3- south and 3-north? Traumatic, perhaps, when contrasted with the controlled rambling pace of the V.A., but an arousing oasis for students eager to see disease from its origin. It was a wel- come change to have a case that was a first MHU admission for a 2V2-year old female rather than a seventh EOVAH ad- mission for a 78-year old male-a beginning at the beginning, the satisfaction of unadulterated illness, But more than academics was at hand. More than ever was the emotional in- tertwined with the intellectual consideration of medical care, for what could be more disheartening than a helpless child? What could be more noble than restoring reasonable health to this child? And what could be more amazing to an EOVAH trained Junior Medical Student than to admit, work up, treat and discharge a patient cured, in one week's time! Perhaps the only happening that stupefield more was Dr. Kushnick's rounds, which were about as far from the classical shitting dullness as one could get. Few will forget, when asked by Dr. K., What else might the patient have? the lull before the cerebral storm. How many students, when asked if he did the 12 tube test on the CSF reported in the 1965 Nor- wegian Journal of Pediatrics, thought, but dared not say, Why, no, that one iust slipped my mind. Replying iust, No, would seldom provoke a diatribe thought, and the student would be last seen scurrying toward the library. Enthusiasm ran high in the department and everywhere was a desire to teach. Almost no one will ever forget that the right heart shadow disappears in right middle lobe pneumonia. And no one who was there will forget that a certain Senior's reply, when asked to name the condition of the baby with the very large head, was Microbody? Clinical Associate Professors Duffy, Halber, Jennings, Perkel, Rumsey and Statman along with Clinical Assistant Professors Alexander, Antillon, Charles, Ford, Hudson, Leer, Marano, Mintz, Panzer, Raffetto, Ross, Venin, Vogt and Willner all deserve mention. How else will everyone know they were there? THEODORE KUSHNICK, M.D. L..ys,.x,...s, , , FRANKLIN C. BEHRLE, M.D., CHAIRMAN i l il -- I . 'i-' it I I ' Q 1 fit A V My X - NHEAJ ' p i .
