6:45 a.m. A thirty yard dash down 10 West couldn’t begin to com- pare with a thirty yard sweep around left end in an Ohio State football game. As illness never took a holiday, neither did medical and nursing students. The Saturday football game, along with holidays such as Thanksgiving and Easter, often became just routine days in the lives of these students. Moreover, little sleep and long hours interfered with a “normal” college life. Even the off-duty hours were some- times interrupted by the ringing of the telephone and a familiar voice saying, “You’re wanted at the hospital.” Upperclass med students, advised by predecessors that the last two years would be much less difficult than the first two, eagerly anticipated those clinical years. But, they soon found to their surprise that the life of a med III or med IV was not so easy. The hours, they found, were extended from 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. to whenever they finished their work—perhaps 5:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., or even midnight. Be- sides, Sunday morning worship services often moved to 10 West, where the minister was the medical resident, the altar plate, a syringe and needle, and the offering, blood from each patient. And it was most exasperating for the med student, called out of bed at one or two o'clock a.m. to care for his new patient, to encounter the chief complaint of “I reckon... I had a pain today.”!!!
