Jl taUi uAo ,VV ---v ,. ' m THIS BOOK DOES f OT CIRCULATE ■C.oj. tieu iRy IN MEMORIAM On June eighteenth, the class of ' 72 lost a friend. Dean Paul Thomas died at his desk in the college office. His sudden death is a tremendous loss to the Osteopathic profession for he was one of our most outstanding educators. Dr. Thomas graduated from PCOM in 1955 and joined the faculty in the department of Physiology follow- ing his internship. In 1966, he received a Ph.D. in Physiology from Temple University and in that year was appointed coordinator of research and post-doctoral studies at the college. In 1969, Paul Thomas became dean. The class of 1972 remembers Dr. Thomas most for the academic changes which were begun during his tenure as dean. The vision of Dr. Thomas as he read our final colle- giate role call just two weeks prior to his death is still fresh in all of our minds. Dean Thomas will long be remembered not only by the class of 1972 but by all those who are involved in Osteopathic Medical education. We, the staff of Synapsis 1972, on behalf of the entire PCOM Family extend our most heart felt sympathy to his widow, Mrs. Miriam Thomas. ftrCY) ' -ZCx- ] SYNAPSIS1 72 .

Bruce Foster DO. Abstract: Four ears of medical school are guaranteed to change a person ' s way of seeing things. Four years ago one hundred and twenty-five students entered the freshman class at P.C.O.M. with many different conceptions of what a physician was and what the process of becoming one en- tailed. Having completed the process of becoming physi- cians, we realize that in doing so we have lost many of the values that we had ascribed originally to the title we now hold. Hopefully, it is not too late for us to re-evaluate our roles in life and to return to the idealism that led us to the profession we have chosen. Medical students are a diverse lot, with varying profes- sional motivations, and no special attributes of altruism can be conferred upon them as a group. Nevertheless, it is prob- ably safe to say that, in our naivete, many of us came to medical school with grand ideas of selfless service to hu- manitv. In the course of events that characterize medical education, we gradually increased in sophistication and, without a great deal of handwringing, discarded those ado- lescent, pre-professional illusions of dedicated service in the ivory tower. Among other things, we came to realize that: 1 ) patients are often a wretchedly ungrateful and belligerent bunch, occassionally approaching the point of being a pain in the ass 2) the public is out to get us, not to mention the administration 3) it costs a great deal of money to eat, pay for malpractice insurance, buy yachts, build swimming pools, etc. 4) attendings are seldom pleasant telephone con- versationalists at four o ' clock in the morning, even if our sparkling diagnostic acumen has detected as stole in one of their patients 5) alcoholics at 48th Street are there to keep up the census — not to be treated 6) junkies — hepatitis or not — are not eligible to keep up the census. Any of these unfortunately encountered realities have the subtle and persuasive ability to make short work of idealism, and cause us to defensively and angrily do some hasty re- structuring of the values we carried with us to medical school. Understandable as this reaction may be, we have done ourselves a disservice in allowing it to take place. Old-fashioned as the theme may be, avarice and self-in- terest, resentment and suspicion have crept into our hearts and are doing their work. They are crowding out the little acts of unrewarded service that gave us so much satisfaction in more idealistic days, and made us so much more human — the simple things, often unnoticed, that were in reality acts of love. Taking an extra moment to answer a puzzled look on a patient ' s face, relinquishing sleep to make sure an old wino at 48th Street makes it through the night, listening, after the blood tests and the urinalyses, to the personal tor- tures of a pregnant 16 year old — all small acts that bring big dividends in personal satisfaction; acts that give mean- ing to our lives and bring peace to our spirits. These demonstrations of acted out idealism have made a gradual and discreet exit from our life style as physicians, or perhaps, for some of us they never existed. At an rate, a swing of the pendulum toward our old adolescent idealism would certainly help the public to distinguish doctors from business men, and would undoubtedly make all our lives a little bit richer. AN EXPLOSION OF THE MYTH THAT DEPICTS THE PHYSICIAN AS AN ORACLE AND HEALER S. L. Burnstein DO Abstract: An one who is a physician or is in the process of becoming one sooner or later realizes that part of what is- called the Art of Medicine is the illusion that surrounds the physician-patient relationship. The physician is the pos- sessor of a mystique in the eyes of his patients, whether he wants to be or not. Traditionally, it has been a widely held concept that the illusion of physician omniscience is an im- portant part of a successful practice. In view of the changing public attitudes toward the medical profession, perhaps the time has come for a more complete honesty on the part of both physician and patient. The first step in bringing about this mutual honesty is the responsibility of the physician. As today ' s new physicians, the decision to take this step or not rests squarel on our shoulders. Quite soon, we will have completed medical school. We will be thrust into a world of ailing people who come to us in order to be cured. This is the reason a sick person comes to a physician — he wants a swift answer in reference to both the disease that is afflicting him and the manner in which it can be remedied. Most patients will accept no less than a cure and the majority of physicians aim at the goal of pro- viding one. Or, they attempt to alleviate the patient ' s com- plaints in cases where a cure is precluded. No one knows when this peculiar relationship between patient and doctor began. Actually, the date of its inception is unimportant. What is important is the fact that this unfor- tunate situation has developed. And, what is more unfortun- ate is that it has been perpetuated not only by physicians, but also by their patients. As far as doctors are concerned, it must be said that many, if not most, desire to be looked on as mystical, magical, all- powerful healers. To create and sustain this illusion, a bar- rier has been erected between themselves and these sick people that come to them for cures. This barrier can easily be recognized as medical acumen. The physician is the pos- sessor of knowledge that the patient does not have. Using this knowledge to effect cures, the doctor has been success- ful in gaining and maintaining his exalted position in society referable both to favorable recognition and monetary rewards. On the other hand, the patient also helps to perpetuate this singular relationship; he perpetuates it in that he allows it to exist. He, in fact, continues to play the role of the sick patient who wants nothing more than to be well and free of disease. Or, perhaps he believes that a cure is his justice in view of the physician ' s uncondescending position as the product of a medical educational system which has been shrouded in mystery as far as he, the layman, is concerned. Sick people must believe that doctors are capable of cur- ing them — why else would they seek medical help? In ad- dition, people certainly realize that some physicians effect more cures than others. However, at the crux of the matter is the fact that people, sick or well, reverently behold a physi- cian as if he were a god or even the God — one who is cap- able of giving absolute and immediate answers ' to bring about their cures. If more people understood the manner in which medical education is dispensed and gotten, it is a certainty that the unique relationship between patient and doctor would begin to assume a different form — that of a person to person in- teraction and not a God to man experience. It is not outlandish to cite the fact that much of what a physician learns during his formal medical training depends on his own motivation. Further, taking into consideration the present capability of the human mind and the enormous compendeum of medical facts, it remains virtually impossi- ble, as well as impractical for the doctor to become anything more than a sophisticated guidance system ' — one who efficiently utilizes the medical knowledge that is his in order to treat a patient. Or, should we, as physicians, continue to sustain the illusion that, medically, we know all and can do ill, securing ourselves in this manner? Physicians should not believe that it is incumbent upon them to provide immediate cures for their patients. By the same token, neither should patients expect or demand swift cures. A physician should be thought of as an individual who is capable of approaching the medical problems of his pa- tients in a logical and sophisticated manner, utilizing what he has gleaned during the course of his medical training in order to help the sick. He should never attempt to deal with all the problems superficialK for the mere sake of hav- ing delt with them. Let ' s stop thinking of medical care as a commodity that deserves to be delivered with the same speed as today ' s milk. Further, let ' s descend our thrones and knock down the separation barriers that are serving to protect only our- selves. Let ' s start putting our medical knowledge to better use, employing it as more than an object that segregates us from the rest of the people in the world. Concerning the mode in which physicians should be judged by their patients. Dr. Lawrence Weed, renown medi- cal educator, sums the problem up well: ' we should not as- sess a physician ' s effectiveness by the amount of time he spends with patients or the sophistication of his specialized techniques. Rather, we should judge him on the complete- ness and accuracy of the data base he creates as he starts his work, the speed and economy with which he obtains patient data, the adequacy of his formulation of all the problems, the intelligence he demonstrates as he carefully treats and follows each problem and the total quantity of acceptable care he is able to deliver.

Abstract: Completion of medical school is accompanied by a mental condition that may best be described by the term quandary . The student finds himself with a collec- tion of garbled memories of voices and images from the past, a sense of insecurity concerning the future and a sud- den propensity for deep introspection. He recognizes his own dissatisfaction with the past but looks hopefully to the future. He realizes that his education has left many ques- tions unanswered but expects that time and time alone will bring many of these answers to him. However, the ache of the unanswerable lingers. We came innocently those first few days into the institu- tion that was to be a home to us our four years through of medical education. It was not long, however, before we dis- covered that our home was not a place of humanity or hu- mility, where we would be taught independence and where mutual respect would be the currency of interpersonal rela- tionship, but rather like a cave full of stalactites and stalag- mites. A place where our teachers loomed in the dark shad- ows as if ready to pounce and destroy, capriciously if they chose, and yet capable of great beneficence — to allow us to become physicians. It was not so very long ago — a mere whisper in the giant halls of time — a lifetime removed irom us, of memories — and we see the parade of personalities, a rubber glove, danc- ing pieces of colored chalk, a pair of spectacles, two pairs of spectacles, a vision of a Teutonic warrior like some great Nordic god staring blackly and blankly into space, dismem- bered, disembodied vertebrae dancing in mid-air about the hoary figure of an old man bent under the weight of a sack of human bones slung across his back — taken all in all the remnants of those who brushed against us in passing — like things that go bump in the night. And the words — so many words — of warning and ad- vice, but mostly of fear: Keep your nose clean. Keep your mouth shut. Don ' t cut the Cat. No moustaches below the angle of the mouth. Don ' t make waves. Times moves onward slowly, but nonetheless, steadily . . . and the dark hours of one night becoming morning melt into the sunlit noon of day after day of exam after e.xam, as though sheer weight of discipline could replace lack of substance of pedagogy. But the days do pass through week and month, and even surprisingly, blessedly, through year. The stuff of school goes on unceasingly, almost unwitting- ly. The questions — innocent or malicious by turns — What is Camper ' s Fascia? What are its boundaries? Name the vessels of the anastomosis around the elbow. Where is the verumontanum? Derive Schroedinger ' s equation and explain its significance. (2 points) The lectures — words end on end, mile after mile, pounds of them, a ton, perhaps. A voice makes itself heard noisily out of the past, That ' s not medicine! Here, just know the good notes; that ' s all you have to know . . . and then sinks into the mire of the forgotten — lecture and lecturer. Reams of paper and gallons of duplicator fluid — I need a typist for Tuesday afternoon. Physical Diagnosis. Won ' t anyone take notes for Monday, O.P. P.? The lectures missed, unmet, ill-prepared — unprepared; empty hours, days of them, weeks, even months. Physical Diagnosis is cancelled this week. Attention! There will be no lab in Physical Diagno- sis next Tuesday afternoon. Metabolic Diseases has been called off today. There will be no exam in Ob-Gyn this term. The Surgery final has been cancelled by the col- lege office. Distribution during lunch nos. 4,5,7,13,15,16,21. Registration will be held Tuesday at 12 P.M. in the Auditorium for the Sophomore class. Make sure to attend and have your checks readv. But even old ways, entrenched and glorified, give way to change and old walls groan and crumble under the weight of all our common enemies — year upon year. Yet even as the old walls of faded, fading, empires crumble amidst the cries of wizened old men, cracking head mirrors, and speculae bent asunder, new ones rise to take their place on the foun- dation of old GMT tables, empty bottles of Celestone, and once fond hopes and withered dreams. ..a vision of a woman, young — youngish, her belly fat, protuberant, breasts ripe and full, her eyes full of pain and fear and expectancy. Next to her a young physician sits — pen and paper in one hand, the other resting lightly on the abdomen of the woman; his eyes not on her but on the clock on the far wall — his face a mirror of resignation and disap- pointment — knowing that this may be as close as he may ever get to touching the young life that struggles, inches from his hand, to enter this world. And thus it is that insidi- ously, invidiously, a new empire effects to build itself upon the ruins of foregoing follies. But even out of all of the unhappiness and disappoint- ments of the process called medical education, that was not truly an education, but a long and painful detour, there be- gins to emerge something which is neither unhappy nor dis- appointing. The detour ends and education haltingly begins. The long journey into night after night and day after day begins to reap a harvest — a whirlwind of excitement, un- certainty, and fear. A gripping fear that wells up from deep within us — from the bottoms of our souls. We see . . the parade of oung and old, straight or bent over, infirm, crip- pled in body or in mind, and behind them the grinning, leer- ing spectres of the twin victors in this game of life; the two partners who are destined to dance with everyone on the floor — Disease and Death. And suddenly we learn what our supposed teachers never brought themselves to tell us. that we really have no answers, and that Death and Disease are the ultimate winners, and that our job is only to prolong; the game; to make the dance so enjo able that we forget our aching feet or swollen ankles or the gasping ith which we draw our every breath. And what do we sa to those who come to us like Pinoc- chio to the Blue Fairy for the gift of life, itself ' : ' What do we sav to those who see their doctors, still, as an occult cult capable of curing all sickness? And what pill do you take for the ache inside you — the ache that your medicine cannot diagnose and cannot treat ' ? ' An if vou dare, vou search out some one honest human being and vou tell him about the ache — the ache your professors of cardiology and rheumatology never told you anything about — and if he understands you, he looks at you and sad- 1 shakes head, and still more sadly smiles, You ' re be- ginning to become a doctor. You will have that ache inside you for the rest of your days. It will never go away. But it ill not always hurt vou so. And you v alk away, and trv to find a quiet corner you can crawl into, and the corner isolat- ed and quiet gives no solace. And you find there is no place to hide yourself away, and the ache is too deep, and you do not know how to nurse it, and you have not learned to live with it, and do not want to. And you seek our your old teach- er and friends, and there is nothing he can answer to your accusing look — Wh - am I hurting like this ' ? ' V ' hy didn t you tell me ' ? Why don ' t you sa ' something? And if he answers you — then it is out of a lifetime of frus- tration and defeat — What am I to say to you? A hair of the dog that bit you. Go back to your patients. There are too many sick people. I tried to teach you — now go learn. MEDICAL PROGRESS CURRICULUM AND FACULTY CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE R.L. FULLER, D.O., R.A. MILLER, D.O., J.W.

CASE 125-1972 PRESENTATION OF CASE This is a twenty-one year old, white male student who entered our institution on September 12, 1968 with a chief complaint of acute anxiety. On admission, the patient stated that he had begun to be quite nervous some nine months previously after learning of his impending admission on the above-mentioned date. On admission, the patient was dressed in a light green shirt, green tie and green sport coat. He was first seen in the second floor classroom hallway, leaning against the wall, attempting to look inconspicuous. His height at that time was five feet nine inches, weight approximately one hundred and seventy-five pounds — had a recent, short hair- cut with exceptionally short sideburns. Initial physical examination was essentially unrewarding, except that the pulse rate was 125, the skin wet (particularly in the axillary area and the palmar surface of the hands) Also, the patient ' s underwear was somewhat wet, but we could not determine the source of the wetness. On neurolog- ic examination, the patient was found to exhibit a total body tremor at rest and throughout the remainder of the physical examination had rapid side to side and up and down eye movements as if he was on the alert for an attack of some kind. Auscultation of the abdomen disclosed high pitched and overactive bowel sounds; the patient subsequently ad- mitted to frequent bouts of diarrhea over the past several days. All laboratory tests and X-rays proved to be within normal limits and the patient was discharged with the intention of being followed through our institution. The patient was next seen by us in late November, 1968 with the same complaint of anxiety and with a secondary complaint of fatigue. He explained that although he got as much as six hours of sleep during the day in class, he contin- ued to be tired at night. To remedy the tiredness and to en- able himself to study, he had been drinking a gallon of cof- fee a day. He stated that the coffee helped him to stay awake while studying, but that it seemed to make him more nervous. Once again, all X-rays and laboratory studies were normal. The patient was again seen in February of 1969 with the same complaint of nervousness, but with an additional com- plaint of writer ' s cramp after having taken sixteen final examinations in five days. He was discharged to the care of his mother. In February, 1970, our patient came to us with the com- plaint of abdominal pain of recent onset. This pain was evi- dent only when he became acutely anxious (such as during oral Pathology quiz sessions) A diagnosis of gastritis was made and the patient started to take Maalox. By May, 1970, the patient had a gastric ulcer, but this healed well during summer vacation. The patient was once again seen by us in September, 1970, at the start of his junior year. His appearance had changed in that he now weighed over two-hundred pounds, his hair was shoulder length, he had a beard and his clothes were different from those he had worn in the past. He was wear- ing a red shirt with a red polka-dot tie, white bell-bottom pants with a patent leather belt and riding boots. He was carrying a twenty-five pound internal medicine book, the latest ten issues of the New England Journal of Medicine along with his car keys, because he was leaving class. The patient was seen at our institution only two or three more times during the above-mentioned year. However, other students remarked that he could be found at Hahne- man if anybody was looking for him. The patient ' s senior year was apparently without prob- lems, medical or otherwise, as he was not seen by us during this span of time except on one occasion. Both the acute anx- iety and the ulcer had flared up after he had a bad experi- ence in the country. The patient graduated from our institution in June of 1972. At this time, he was heard to remark that he would now be better able to empathize with his patients as a result of his excellent medical education.

MORTON GREENWALD Rov Goriii, D.O., Russell A. Trusso, D.O. and Sv Block, D.O. Several of us once complimented him shortly after the reception of our national board scores in the basic sciences. We remarked that our grades had been higher in pathology than in any of the other subjects in which we had been ex- amined. Without an other provocation from us, he com- mented that our knowledge of pathology was not the result of his efforts solely. At that point, we anticipated a state- ment from him concerning our diligent study of pathology and the fact that this had made us knowledgeable of it. However, we were mistaken. He proceeded to credit the other members of the patholo- gy department and reminded us that he alone was not due all plaudits for our success. In retrospect, we were not surprised by his statement. And, our approach to him on this occasion was as it had been from the first day we met him — a combination of both awe and respect. We had wanted to flatter him, but in the man- ner so typical of Dr. Greenwald, he simultaneously accepted and declined our flatter) . We had come to recognize him as a self-respecting, highK honorable man who did his job without uttering many com- plaints. Occasionally, however, he did growl, but never about personal discomfort. Greenies complaints were al- ways referable to us, his students. After all, how did the administration expect him to do an adequate job teaching pathology when the re were sixty or seventy students stuffed into his tiny lab! He scared the hell out of us during the path-lab (|uiz ses- sions, but he knew that this was the only way to assure that we would study (and how else can medicine be learned in the sophomore year?) He stood at the auditorium lecturn two to three times a week, speaking without notes, giving us remarkably precise and informative lectures — teaching us medicine. He spoke so rapidly and there were so many facts to write that the notetakers used tape recorders so as not to neglect a word. Many of us have forgotten Dr. Greenwald because it has been a long time since our sophomore year and because our experiences since then have been multitudinous. But, he left his distinct mark of our memories in a good w a that no oth- er friend or teacher has been ab le to do in our ears at P.C.O.M. And, he taught us a great deal more than medicine in comparison to others who approached us. IN MEMORIAM My own dim life should tell me this, That life shall live for evermore. Else earth is darkness at the core. And dust and ashes all that is: . . . from In Memoriam Alfred Lord Tennvson Neil Grove, D.O. Lewis Rossman was truly an extraordinary person. Intelligence, athletic ability and a deep regard for humanity were just a few of his fine qualities Lewis attended P. COM for four months In that time he gained the respect of his classmates. His untimely death is not only a loss to his class but to his profession. The Runner The man is brave, who runs the race. With hands and feet, heart and grace. His feet must fly, his heart will cry, I must, I shall, or else I die. He ' ll run to run until the end. And only live to run again. Again to push his w ondrous pace. To the epitome of mortal grace: The grace of which is not the length. The beauty is the silent strength. The strength of muscle, soul and lung. Entwined forever into one. The sacred race, to him is trod. The runner ' s heart is close to God. D. Neil Grove Lou Rossman GRADUATION 1972 • A y p i VJf, ; ' i!5 X.

HOLD UP In the political race for Chairmanship of P.C.O.M. ' s Class of 1972 a dark horse candidate swept to vic- tory in a write-in campaign. In those naive days most of us had little time to think much of class leadership and took the election results with a certain amount of laissez-faire. Norm Weiss was duly elected to the office and the rest is history with quite a legend growing out of it. During his four-year reign Norm achieved many coups d ' etat: he got us out of many exams, smoothed ruffled feelings, arranged deals, and made other polit- ical maneuvers. He was more than just a politician; he was someone who cared about the welfare of his class.

LAPORTE LETTER To the Editor: In regard to all the rect-nt luib-buh about rural medicine what ' s been getting e er one stirred up cross the eountrx. I ' d just like to set the record straight where it comes to our neck of the woods up here in Palorte, Pa. Before all these city folks with their high falooting ideas about what country folk need and want in the way of medicine get too carried away with their own retork maybe the could benefit from our experience. Things went pretty smooth around here up until a couple of years ago. I ve been practicing good rural medicine for the last .30 years with the aid of a good helping of first our chiropractic and then your osteopathic schooling. In fact, I hold the first chiropractice license in the state and with that and Celestone ® how could any sensible doctor go w rong ' : ' Well, a couple ears back they (Dr. Barth and Philly College) come up here with the idea of set- ting up some sort of clinic — that is what they called it — for to practice what the called rural medicine, figuring to send they ' re students up here to see w hat it w as all about Well I told them, sure I ' d help them out. Only trouble was. these fellows they sent up here w eren ' t too interested in learn- ing rural medicine. No sir! They thought the could come up here and carry on the same fool gimcrackerx they do down in that fancy new place the got down in PhilK. ' h , when I ' d explain to them how I use Cele- stone ® and a couple other drugs to cure all these here aches and pains and pestilence that plagues our people in this part of Pa. the ' d mutter some- thing about moons and buffalos humps and go off and hold a clandestine meeting or two about who knows w hat. On top of that, when neither Mrs. Trickster or me w ere around they ' d pull all those books full of gibberish Dr. England brought up here and leave them King all about so Mrs. Tricks- ter would have to straighten them all out before we ' d know what we ' re about. Now. I don ' t mean to say all these young fellows were bad you see. Some of them could appreciate the tips I had for them, like saving old needles for giving yourself shots with, and cutting off your own warts with a pocket Knife, but 1 never heard of some of tfie things they w anted to do to these good people like FBS or CBC or ESR; couldn ' t even say them out hole for fear we w ould be shocked at w hat they were up to no doubt. Well, anyhow, every week Id send a little report on down about how they d carry on, about how the weather w as, how many patients traipsed in and so on. Just so they ' d smart up dow n there and see this is no place for all that fancy stuff. Id tell them if we went over to the nursing home or not (some of the fellows didn ' t seem like they ' d be strong enough to see w here people go to die, course some of them even had enough nerve to want to do the same monkeying around w ith the old folks there as they did in the clin- ic, ) As you can planely see everything doesn ' t w ork as good as it sounds like it might, I guess all those people mean w ell but they ve just got to learn that us rural folks don t like to be tinkered with too much. Just give us a couple of good cracks and w renches and a good old shot in the arm and well be on our way. It isn t like the city where folks get all those unhealth diseases from toilet seats, etc No sir, people will soon find out just like we did, city medicine and country medicine don t mix. Buck Rabbot, DO. GR. FT S. HOST REACTION To the Editor: This is to apprise you of a rather remarkable phenomenon that we have observed in a group of 12.5 patients observed over a four year period. .Apparently, due to some sort of immune system, the mechanism of which is still undefined but w hich is becoming clearer everyday, there was a marked rejection b the host of virtualK all heterologous educational in- formation that w as grafted to the host after the first nine month period had elapsed. This rejection was accompanied b marked excoriation and indur- ation as w ell as general systemic inflammatory change of the host. This was considered all the more remarkable in view of the fact that all heterologous material grafted within the first nine month period w as readily assimilated. AdmittedK, immuno-suppressive agents were adminis tered in ever increas- ing doses over the initial nine month period, however, when the suppres- sive agents were increased beyond the level attained during the first nine month period, rejection of the graft material by the host w as almost imme- diate and was accompanied b severe inflammation and excoriation. Fol- low ing this occurance, rejection took place regardless of the amount or nature of the suppressive agents emplo ed and no amount of coercion could bring about satisfactory host acceptance of material grafted from the initial source. Material grafted from other educational sources was more readilv accepted by the host and appears to be accepted in an inverse relationship to the amount of immuno-suppressive agents emplo ed. We hope that our experience with immuno suppressive agents and educational grafts will prove valuable in the implementation of other such programs. Philadelphia. Pa. A. Hapten CITY LINE AVENUE TODAY: TOMORROW THE WORLD To The Editor: I have heard for some time now about the Osteopathic profession becoming weaker and coming apart at the seams. I have been told that our graduates are begging the allopaths to take us over, and that we are collapsing in financial chaos. Well, let me sa ' that this is all a bunch of baloney. Nothing could be fur- ther from the truth. Being a prominent individual in Osteopathic education I think I can speak with authority. It is my impression that the Osteopathic medical profession has never been stronger or more prominent in .American health care The profession is receiving more and more attention and sup- port not onl from the .American people, state and federal governments, but also from international peoples. The Osteopathic Medical School Center that I am associated with has immediate plans to set up satellite Medical School Centers in Florida. New York. New Jersey and Ohio. These should be ready to accept their first classes this fall provided the Federal government comes across with some money. The question of providing clinical training to the students at these satellite schools is no problem. We w ill bring them all to the main Osteo- pathic Medical School Hospital for training Extra training facilities will come about from various rural clinics I have in mind. .Also the great state that is home for our main school has been begging us to take over five or six of its state run general hospitals located in the Western end of the state. .And we w ill do this. We w ill only have to find the men somew here to staff them 1 have met several people in Israel. Rome. Switzerland and other coun- tries who have shown tremendous interest in the Osteopathic Medical pro- fession in the United States. Some of these people have even asked me to seriously consider helping their countries set up similar Osteopathic Medi- cal schools. Thus, gentlemen, as you see the Osteopathic medical profession is not collapsing but is becoming more powerful. As I see it. we will become stronger and stronger. The allopaths will some da want to change their degrees from M D to DO., when they see how much better we are loved than the are by the American people who want more family physicians and few er big cit specialists. Osteopathic Medical schools will populate foreign countries also The Osteopathic Medical profession should be. b the end of the centurw the most prominent medical group on earth. In short. Gentlemen — the world w ill be ours!!!! Philadelphia. P; Dr. Bee 216 BOOK REVIEWS Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine Catalogue. Edited by the Administration. 126 pp., illustrated. Cornwells Heights, Pa.; Lvon Armor Inc., 1971, The latest edition of this well known reference work happily follows the editors ' long esteemed tradition of compactness, accuracy, and relevance. It continues to be a publication of editorial excellence as there has been lit- tle content change in the last two decades, and the editors have therefore been able to direct their attention to subtle refinements such as a more de- tailed description of the Harvey School of Anatomy. The first portion of the book is devoted to a well organized roster of ad- ministration and faculty members, and much effort has obviously gone into expanding this section. To accomplish this difficult task, the editors have elected to retain the names of deceased members, and have painstakingK searched the yellow pages for the names and addresses of licensed DO s not previously included. Regular readers will be happy to see that the sections on the history of Greek medicine and basic philosophy of osteopathy have been virtualK untouched. They still retain that delightfully obscure phraseology that has won them the affection of DO s for decades. The section on Course of Study ' may prove to be particularly enlight- ening to many readers, particularly those PCOM students in their .3rd and 4th years who have completed their didactic work. Many will be surprised at the depth and comprehensiveness of the courses they received. Indeed, some may wonder whether they have attended the same school. The text is liberally illustrated with current photographs, including a good shot of the 48th Street College Building with several nurses in midi skirts in the foreground. For the fathers of borderline applicants seeking admission, there is a convenient detachable form on the back page for gifts and bequests to the College that may greatly expedite the admission process. Like other works with multiple contributors, the book s main fault lies in poor transitions between sections which results in a somewhat choppy prose. It is difficult to read straight through in one session and will un- doubtedly be used solely as a reference source by most readers. Certain contributors, however, do excell in the quality of their writings, and those portions of the Catalogue read almost like fiction. In summary, this is a compact reference work that should prove quite il- luminating to most current and prospective students of osteopathy, and should probably be on the bookshelf of every pre-med student. B. Foster, O.D. The book does n it contain a bibliography, however, it does list refer- ences in the beginning to which the student is recommended. A careful examination of these reference texts and the bod of the book under discus- sion, how ever, will reveal that man of the illustrated figures can be found better reproduced in man of the recommended texts, might I add that Dr. Kline s book contains neither a footnote nor an acknow ledgement to an of the consulted texts. There is, however, a footnote to his own report to the Dean of 1967. There is a 45 page discussion of vitamins in this text which like the re- mainder of discussions is neither footnoted, acknow ledged or in any other way documented. This discussion is a verbatim reprint of much of the Up- john Company s monograph Vitamin Manual — a 196.5 copyrighted work. There is no disclaimer to even imph that the material presented throughout the book is not original, in point of fact, the opposite is often seemingK purported. To me, then, the book is a well-conceived, poorly executed project, by the author as well. It is reasonabK mimeographed. Comment has already been made on some of the illu strating figures, the remainder of them are gcneralU u ell-conceived have been borrowed (without acknowledgement) from many well-known texts. The price is exorbitant. J.B. Azneer. DO. Outline of Phvsiological Chemistry. B Albert P Kline. PhD 519 pp.. il- lustrated Philadelphia: PCOM. S15.00. The title of this work suggests a brief overview of material, it is. in point of fact, the compiled class hand-out material from the course of Ph siologi- cal Chemistry as taught by the Chairman of the department of Physiologi- cal Chemistry at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. The implied brevity is illusory, the book is cumbersome, despite the prunings to which Dr. Kline in his forward to the book alludes. The subject matter of the book is a strange amalgam of physiology and classical biochemistry, and with the many clinical discussions that are in- terspersed throughout the text, at first glance, the book would seem ideal for the unititiated medical student. Unfortunate!), the hook suffers fr mi poor editing and impossibU imcompetent proofreading, for example. man of the structural formulas appearing in the text are so bungled as to be unrecognizable. Folding Techniques By W. C. Pursefield, DO, 13 pages. First edition. Il- lustrated. Philadelphia ' ; Midnite Publishing Company, 1968. 840.00. The physician in general practice or pediatrics frequently encounters a particularly thorny problem, how to get the pediatric patient to hold still for examination or therapeutic measures. This skillfully compiled atlas graphically presents useful aids and techniques in how to handle the un- cooperative little monsters. Where appropriate, separate illustrations and explanations for infant and child are included. The author has accom- plished what has been long overdue — the application of skills and holds long used in NC. A and professional wrestling circles to the handling of the little pediatric devils. Hammer lock, full nelson, chicken wing and figure four are all used to their full advantage in subduing almost any pint sized rascal for the purpose of examining eyes. ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, abdomen, genitals, etc., in short, everything. These techniques should be useful, especially when coupled with already wideK used ones such as tw eaking the nose, boxing the ears, grasping b the scruff of the neck and so on. Any practitioner worth his salt should soon be able to handle his weight in kids before they even bother him. . n appendix is included show ing how to set any embarassing incidental fractures or dislocations which may occur inadvertently For those interested in further developments, the author plans soon to release a new volume entitled Selected Karate Chops for Pediatric Practice. The author also has available, at an insignificantly reduced price, a limited number of Xerox copies. . n one caught Xeroxing the author s book will be subjected to extended periods of splenic stimulation and lymph pump by the new techniques.
