There is no denying that total immersion in the subject matter was necessary; nor should we feel guilty about time and energy spent in pursuit of an adequate education — in classroom and laboratory, in hospitals throughout the city, and in the reading of texts and journals. This was required. This was our free choice. Yet in this period of concen- trated study we missed much. What happened during these four years of confinement? Most of our friends in the outside world were married, having their first child, and working on their second raise just about the time we were making our first big loan and stepping into that greatest of anxiety producers — the anatomy lab. Sep- tember of 1964 marked the onset of ten months during which we could do little else but keep up with the pace. Few took more than passing note of the fact that Johnson was re-elected president, that Dr. Martin Luther King received the Nobel Peace Prize, or that China exploded its first atomic bomb. More impor- tant were the arteries, veins, and nerves of the brachial plexus. We entered the second year with a much lighter heart and far less anxiety; yet the total commitment and high pressured study remained. Some of us actually began to enjoy the study of medicine. At the same time, however, we began to recognize and feel personally the sacrifices which are inherent in the life of both medical student and physician. Those who were married found perhaps that their wives were not willing to be cast off by that ever pre- sent mistress — medicine. Fathers becam e strangers to their children. The many single men of the class grudgingly recognized that little energy was left for the pursuit of a mate, let alone good times. Few friendships outside of classmates could be maintained, if for no other reason than lack of time. Most of us gave up completely any notions of keeping in good physical shape and few maintained an interest in the world outside the Cloister. For nostalgic reference on looking back over these four years, it might be of interest to enumerate some of the more moving events which passed us by, all but unnoticed. In early 1965, President Johnson reaffirmed our commitment in Vietnam and the war was escalated with the first air attacks on the north; U.S. troops were rushed to the Dominican Republic to prevent a communist takeover there; and in the summer, an event occurred which shattered the smug security of most Americans. An area in Los Angeles called Watts, little known outside of California, was completely devastated by race riots. On the other side of the world, Albert Schweitzer passed away, and far above us all, the two astronauts Grissom and Young orbited the earth in our first two-man spacecraft. Their televised take-off was viewed by mil- lions. The year 1966 was marked by turmoil. The Vietnam conflict continued to grow uncontrollably. Scanty reports from Red China told of purges of anti-Mao factions. Africa was in ferment: Nkhruma was ousted from Ghana, Rhodesia cut ties with Britain, Verwoerd was assassinated in South Africa, and 7000 Ibo tribesmen were massacred in Nigeria. India was racked by famine and rioting, DeGaul ordered NATO out of France, and floods destroyed priceless art works in Florence and Venice. In the United States, the term Black Power came into being, and more cities were faced with riot- ing. In contrast to this destruction, Medicare, over the opposition of the AMA, came into effect, and several million senior citizens began reaping its benefits. The fantastic Project Gemini was completed when Lovell and Aldrin orbited the earth 59 times, linked up with an Agena rocket, and took the historic five hour space walk. Nineteen sixty-seven, the 25th year of the atom and many of our 25th birthdays, saw the war in Viet- nam brought home to our people. Boys died and parents asked why. Peace marchers vied with civil rights demonstrators for headlines. Rioting in the cities was again sporadically repeated; the Israelis conducted a successful six-day war against the Arabs; and, as if in response to madness, the Age of Psy- chedelia blossomed. Dr. Christian Barnard and his team performed a successful heart transplant in South Africa, McNamara quit as Defense Secretary, and Carl Sandburg passed away. As we entered our fourth and last year we were able to emerge for a brief glance at our surroundings. From our clinic booth or hospital assignment we found ourselves debating political issues and reacting emotionally to live war battles on television, to the surprise withdrawal of Johnson from the presidential race, and to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The world was once again becoming a real place wherein we would have to reside. A potential riot became a personal threat. Many of us were now married, buying that new car, having that long-awaited first child, and anticipating paying debts rather than incurring them. Not without some trepidation internships were chosen and impatiently awaited. With mixed feeling of exuberance over having attained our goal, and awe at the great responsibility in- trinsic to our new profession, we prepared to leave the Cloister and enter the world All this was before the home and oflnce, the pro-rated income, and the fourteen-hour work day. Very likely you. like (jthers before you, will one day ask when time slipped away. Reflecting on it you may even pull this dusty and well-traveled pea-green volume from some forgotten shelf. Then, on skimming these pages, semblance of an answer may be found. In the end, years from now, these pictures (some wanting focus) and words (some wanting objectivity) will recall, not without melancholy, the beginning. Hopefully you may be moved in all this retrcjspeetion to chuckle to yourself. the externship m EK JB the uterus of the woman on the bed contracted according to its cellular intelligence, without command, the vertical muscles squeezed downward, the woman moaned . . . 1 we are surrounded with fellowmen, beings of the same nature, in the same circumstances, and having the same wants with ourselves; to whom we are therefore in a pecuHar manner Hnked and related, and whose happiness and misery depend very much on our behavior to to write a prescription is easy, but to come to an understanding with people is hard. ran: kafka BBIHI drugs cannot inspire or encourage comfort, only a person can heal a person. schilling ni8H«M fe ' i n ' rA . the general principles of any study you may learn by books at home; but the detail, the color, the tone, the air, the life which makes it live in us, you must catch all these from those in whom it lives already.

Past books have relied heavily on the accumulation of formal postures to preserve that round portion of a man above his shoulders and display it on a flat page. To many of our men 8 X 10 glossies will be sufficient, for it is true that Section A knows few of Section B, and it is doubtful that 62 really knows 63, After four years some still ask for the guy ' s name that sits next to so-and-so. So diverse and yet so uncannily similar are these seniors, however, that we think their roundness should be exploited to his- toric advantage. A personal presentation rather than a passing display should, we think, be included herein. Question: How does one gather such a personal glimpse of this mosaic group? Choose one: A) Submit personal histories. B) Offer hackneyed predjudicial generalities. C) Take a poll; then make generalities with an attempt at objectivity. Correct choice: (C). The poll in modern society has become a valid source for generalities about any group. Ironically, the unsigned poll was taken on the day our class postured for the camera. Not so ironic were the furtive glances that betrayed the lesson our class learned well the last four years: Don ' t count on graduation. A striking lack of confidence is present in these seniors. Some explanation is offered by the observation that, when asked specifically about the general in- structional philosophy of PCOM, only four people of the 88 who took the poll answered respect-motivation. Four others abstained. All the rest, a striking 91% answered fear-harrassment. This modality of training has no place in grade school, and certainly should not be present at a graduate level. A blatant example of this philosophy is the secret subjectivity of the credit-grading and dismissal system. This may seem a harsh introduction to this rounding report, but more lesions plague the posture. On March 18, 1968, the student body was abruptly notified that unless you are on duty in the Barth Pavilion at City Line, you have no business in this area. The same rule applies to the 48th Street Hospital ... Oddly enough, the questionaire indicated that a full 69% of our seniors had moonlighted at other hospitals — 42 in osteopathic hospitals, 31 in allopathic hospitals, and 13 in both types — all of which is, again, against the rules. One may be justifiably proud that so many responsibly sought further medical experience. Medicolegal and administrative reasons for these restrictions have somehow been circumvented by midwestern osteopathic colleges which diversify the experience of their student bodies by excellent externships throughout the Philadel- phia area. Howsomever, other paradoxical juxtapositions occur in principles and practice. In a broader view, the very founda- tions of the profession are in a state of compromise. TheO in PCOM makes our school and four other graduate medical insti- tutions different. According to the poll, 40% of our seniors did not indend to enter residency training, and presumably will become general practitioners. A note of optimism is struck in this age of increasing specialization and depersonalization in medicine. However, only 45% of the 88 asked intend to use osteopathic manipulative therapy as a routine part of their prac- tice. Something has happened to the O. Further compromise in the O was demonstrated when the poll showed that 64 of the 88 answering failed a total of 174 courses in 3 years. That ' s quite a good record considering that we took 70 courses during our junior year alone. But of these 174 failures, 44% occurred in osteopathic principles and practice and applied anatomy. By actual count in the catalog these courses fill only 10% of the total didactic hours. Many may not be interested in the percentage of graduates using manipulation or the disproportionate number of failures in osteopathic courses, but all will be conc erned with yet another disclosure. While few practicing osteopathic physicians would consider a union with the allopaths, our poll revealed that 60% of our graduating seniors when asked, would you vote for a merger with the MD ' s (on an equal opportunity basis) voted yes; 6% abstained. Such is the depth of the animosity en- gendered by the PCOM experience. The O is in trouble. To what purpose are these facts presented? To undermine the profession . . .? To strike out irrationally and get even . . .? On the contrary, symptoms — facts — are a means to diagnose and correct the lesion. Together these facts mean something; as single entities they could be misleading. ullH.HtU ..,.,...„. « mjlMILI4.„l,lm Together they say that something is different at PCOM, different from all other osteopathic institutions. But where is the lesion? What makes PCOM so different? Why is it a covert fact throughout the profession that most PCOM students are so defensive and disgruntled a lot? Where in the soma and psyche of PCOM is the lesion that drives excellent instructors away and defies any critical examination? Biopsy of the soma reveals no pathology. The new hospital has itself forced some changes in curriculum and concentration. The pathology rests in the psyche — not demonstrated on slides, not visualized at conventions, but lived in the PCOM fami- ly . The education of a physician today should involve more than the harassing accumulation of facts. Osteopathic philosophy provides that the student, as a human being, should be appreciated as a total man by his osteopathic exemplars and his osteo- pathic (?) administration. In the family, however, discipline is meted out arbitrarily. Guarded by a pass-fail system in which the students don ' t see their errors, parents can move fluidly and subjectively impose their own values without explanation. As in high school, students can suffer the humiliation of being perfunctorily jerked from classes for a mere haircut. More impor- tant than the fact that this occurred is the fact that the faculty permitted this tactic. The only objection came from the city news media. It is ironic, moreover, that the greatest emphasis in hospital work during the senior year is not teaching, but is in requiring students to perform duties which are relegated to nursing personnel in other hospitals. Most important is the attitude of some faculty toward osteopathy. Questions concerning osteopathic principles are fre- quently answered in a chiding or dogmatic manner. Students who obviously have interest and ability in osteopathic courses are often failed because they question too much or have the wrong attitude. Moreover, many faculty expect the student to show unusual responsibility in hospital manipulative therapy, but do little themselves. There is an obvious dichotomy be- tween what is taught and what is practiced. Sad and apathetic after 20 years of opaque classrooms and thousands of dollars expense, the student is justified in his con- sternation. Who knows the student ' s plight better than the student? Who listens to the student ' s plight other than the students themselves? As in other neurotic contemporary families, little real communication is present. The PCOM policy makers are undoubtedly concerned about their school and the profession. But where is concern for the students? And where is concern for those excellent instructors who no longer honor the faculty. Students, interns, residents, and faculty are all treated as dispensible commodities. Student criticism of a faculty member is unheard of, but those policy makers who understand nothing of the rapport in a classroom criticize and rebuke faculty on paltry second-hand knowledge. They have excuses for these paradoxes; all the excuses are no excuses. In undergraduate school we were dubbed the future of America. Here, at PCOM, we are the future of the profession. In direct contrast to such hackneyed gossamer visions of the future, we see ourselves in the present. We are PCOM and the reason for its existence. We are the now of the profession — what is actually happening to the principles and practice — and as such deserve a role in the decisions which will determine its future. The real difficulty is in the next logical step - finding a meaningful role for the student. The Curriculum Committee of the Student Council has been meeting with the administration, and their efforts to effect changes are appreciated. Yet, ironically, many of the faculty members who see the need for change say nothing — apparently due to their healthy respect of the omnipotent PCOM powers. This, then, is a plea on behalf of the students for greater dialogue and understanding. No poll is required, in the final analysis, to report that our graduates recognize thai all staff members are not the same. The opinions and facts shared herein are well understood by many of the men who contribute to the college. It is these interested faculty and staff that will help mold the today of PCOM. Hopefully, these men, our own class, and the remaining students will be encouraged to continue to vie for reasonable re-examination and responsible change. Together we can make osteo- pathic education at PCOM what osteopathic philosophy already is to many of the American public concern for the total man.
