SERVICE ORNSTEIN WHITE HILL ough analyst of the x-ray plate, finally discovering something of which Dr. Boyd knew nothing .... Dr. Lintz on two successive weeks discussed both our cases .... His conclusions diametrically opposed to ours both times .... Dr. Piccioni, very serious and somber in appearance .... An expert diagnostician of cardiac disease .... Dr. Hailey, quiet and self-effacing . . . . Ardent homeopath . . . . With Dr. Goldstein every case came under one of two categories .... Hyper- or hypo-thyroid, or neurosis .... Dr. Olmstead-idoesn't the man get tired of making pin pricks? .... Dr. Terra- nova --we'll give this one some triple bromides . . . . A first morning speech gave us the wrong slant on Dr. Nussbaum .... We now know otherwise .... Dr. Werblow-sfirst impression: opisthotonus or deugue. And so, to the West Pavillion and Dr. Ornstein .... An excellent teacher, a fine gentleman .... Always looking for just a little bit of horse sense ....

l BOYD SCHMA HL MacGAVACK THE DAWN of the senior year, September, 1936 .... The year toward which all had been pointing .... Some with fear for the future, others confident that the future would bring naught but honors ....' N ow, how- ever, some of the tension had decreased and we gayly set forth fo a year divided into Medicine, Surgery, Specialties, and Gynecology and Obstetrics .... Each with its own peculiar problems, each with its own staff of instructors. Our introduction to the senior year was in Medicine . . . . At last We would approach the bedside once more . . . . Not as in the junior year in a more or less hap- hazard manner .... But rather, as resolved during the summer: with definite objectives in mind, definite gues- tions, and, moreover, a resolve to do better work .... Thus we look back upon the men with whom we came in contact .... Each left his own imprint in our memor' ies .... Some eccentric, some verbose, some taciturn . . . . Others too reminiscent, and others of whom we did not see enough. Dr. Boyd, as distant from the student as ever .... Still talking above our heads .... Looking for student translators .... Searching for the eternal Periarteritis Nodosa .... And ever looking to Dr. MacGavack, a new acquisition to the staff from the wilds of California . . . . Who was a distinct surprise . . . . Instead of a middle-aged man we found a comparatively young man .... Willing to listen to student opinion .... A 'naster at differential diagnosis .... And above all a 'regular fellow .... Dr. Goldbloom with his R. B. C.'s . . Going so far as to give student lectures on the interpretation of the E. K. G. at his home .... We had to be early for Dr. White .... Prognosticating is his forte .... Dr. Dittler was faced with the task of giving Gastro-enterology in eight lectures, and made a good iob of it .... Dr. Libin, quiet, smooth-talking .... Our one regret is that we did not see more of him .... Dr. Baynor wanted an audience for each appearance .... Had to have his glass of orange juice .... We've al- ways wondered how Dr. Saccone could talk so rapidly and so long with one breath .... Where did he get his shirts? .... Dr. Bader batted for Dr. Goldbloom .... lust a vote of appreciation .... Dr. Weinberg, a thor- Thirty-six MEDICAL 'I' , 'N-

SURGICAL Thirty-eight 'IHE YEAR nineteen hundred thirty seven sees Flower Hospital forging to the lead in surgery .... The acquisition of the new Flower at Fifth Avenue and One Hundred Fifth Street . . . Formerly Fifth Avenue Hospital . . . . The adaptation of the vast facilities of Metropolitan Hospital to the needs of the students of the New York Medical College .... The enthusiasm of the students toward this new arrangement .... Students who are ordinarily blase toward all hospitals by the time they reach their senior year. The three surgical services at Flower .... The one headed by Dr. Fobes, our demanding professor, who urges us on to literary as well as surgical achievements via his much-discussed diary . . . That master instructor, Dr. Kaufman, heads the second service .... Sympa- thetic in our difficulties but determined that we learn surgery .... The acting head of the third service is Dr. Eaton, able successor to Dr. Crump, Sr ..... He, too, has introduced a type of diary into his service. Dr. Kellogg, wondering where the rest of the dry clinic section is .... We know they're making rounds with other men on the staff .... Dr. Wilson, supremely amused when he, together with Dr. Borrelli, discovers a senior group having difficulty in distinguishing an elbow from a knee on an X-ray plate .... Dr. von Bonnewitz lecturing on proctology .... All of which is virgin soil to most of us .... Dr. Lutton, surprised at the intelligent faces of the senior class .... Dr. Ney, assisted by Dr. Ganders, directs Dr. Brace four anaes- thetist par excellence! in photographing films of one of his far-famed cranioplasties .... Another noted sur- geon, Dr. Chilian, for whom we all have the profoundest respect. Flower undoubtedly boasts one of the busiest surgical services in the metropolitan area .... The staffs and the students are proud of this as well as they are proud of the efficiency and care with which patients are handled . . . . Dr. Bickley as one of the prime reasons for its efficiency .... Dr. Furniss, in his slow methodical way, 5.1 FOBES
