hospitals .1 4V As we were being molded into physicians, the college was also taking a new form. The building program at City Line was finaUy begun. After many years of hard and conscientious work, by President Frederic H. Barth and others, the funds had all been raised, the difficulties had all been overcome, and the workmen were actually starting to construct our new hospital. Slow- ly but surely, the building began to take shape. We watched in awe as the large red girders were put in place to form the skeleton of our new home. It was becoming a reality. Our dreams were coming true. Then, after more than twenty exams, our last semester of classroom work was ended. At last it was over. We would never have classes and exams again. Brain weary, more from counting the minutes than from studying, we began our clinical training. Suddenly, abruptly, we had more than just eighty- three other classmtaes to look at, talk to, and work with. Our world once again was filled with new names and faces. There were staffmen, nurses, laboratory technicians, and even cashiers and secretaries, all who seemed to have more knowledge and experience than we in this new milieu. Suddenly, we were student doctors and had to do things for the first time as if we had been doing them all of our lives. However, the most wonderful aspect of this period was the patients: sick patients, well patients, good patients, bad pa- tients—all a challenge to the budding physician. We took histories, did physi- cals, gave treatments, and began to learn the intricacies of the art of practice. Several people with whom we came in contact in our fourth year made sincere efforts to prepare us for the future. The Radiology department, Drs. Gilhgan, Swift, Meals, and TUley, were perhaps the most stimulating. They corrected, heckled, and kidded each other and each of us and succeeded in making us correlate all that we knew with what we saw. Dr. James, as he performed postmortums and examined gross specimens remained aware that we were students and that he was a teacher. Dr. Herman Kohn and Dr. Lester Eisenberg made our surgery and obstetrical services profitable. Dr. Gerald Scharf reduced the maze of electrocardiography to its basic logical essentials. To all of these and to the many other men and women, on the clinic and hospital staffs, who were always by our side when we needed them, and who served to further our education, we say, thank you. Four years have gone by since first we entered the P.C.O. family. Four years of hard work, of trials and tribulations, of happiness and sorrow, all with the speed of four minutes. All of this will soon be a memory, but it has left its mark indelibly upon us. Here we have grown to be physicians in an environment which is rapidly approaching the ideal. No matter where the future will lead us, we will always be a part of P.C.O. 21
