The goal ot any medical school service must be to set an example of excellence Tor The undergraduate, postgraduate and community physician. Medical excellence can only be measured in terms of patient service. Therefore, the role of our Surgical Service is to render patient care as close to the ideal as possible to patients with diseases correctable by sur- gical means. A common view ot surgeons is otten dominated by The drama of the operation. Alton Ochsner, a famous sur- gical educator, once said, l can train a man to operate in six months but iT takes six years To train a surgeon. Thus, in pa- tient care on a Surgical Service, the diagnosis of The disease, The selection of patients Tor operation, The preoperative prepa- ration, postoperative care and follow-up care probably equal or exceed in importance The operative act itself. ln carrying out our tunction as surgeons in This institution, it is my hope that we will constantly improve our ability To es- tablish or confirm diagnoses, to identity those patients who cannot tolerate surgery, to select accurately the most physio- logical and appropriate procedures for the disease under treatment, to conduct The operation precisely and to carry the patient through the postoperative period with a thorough understanding of the physiological and biochemical changes which we have created. To obtain these goals, the surgeon must interrelate with all of the other specialities but must be well enough trained and broadly enough based so that he can adequately evaluate not only his own competence but also the validity ot consultations he receives.

Essentially, for the student of surgery, any teaching hospital should provide an abundance of clinical material, a variety of surgical methods and opinions, adequate contact with patients and their problems and, especially, a full measure of discus- sion, instruction ond student involvement. The attempts of Dr. Lazaro and Dr. Malfitan to achieve these goals have been greatly augmented by the addition of Dr. Beniamin Rush. How- ever, the basic lack of varied clinical material, the almost com- plete lack of discussion, instruction and involvement on the part of a considerable number of the house staff and the in- completeness of the patient-doctor relationship in this atmos- phere still leave extensive areas of possible improvement be- fore Martlancl deserves the binding title of teaching hospital. Unfortunately, those members of the house staff and faculty that have shown duty above and beyond their call number few. But the fact stands that those few, because of their ex- ceptional ability ancl time-consuming effort, have, even in the face of immovable obstacles, given us the opportunity to achieve certain goals on the basis of our own ability and in- dustriousness.
