Health Care Centers Without a doubt, the most unique clinical exposure came by way of the health care cen- ters of P.C.O.M. After hastening fearfully to the clinic ' s entrance and making a beeline past the broken steampipe, the junior student made his residence inside one of the many booths. From that point, henceforth, he was to be known as Da Boof Docta. Fearfully, he drew his first vacutainer on one of the many hypertensive diabetics placed under his care. They told him that practice makes perfect. He may not have been perfect, but, he sure did practice! Even the most ag- gressive students wondered why it was neces- sary to bring back every patient each week. Where else were drug salesmen forced to lure their audiences with coffee and donuts? And woe betide them if they arrived without samples! Perhaps the best aspect of the clinics was the unique pathology that one encountered. How could the student be concerned about the Fisher Variant of the Guillan-Barre Syndrome when he was grappling with such unique clin- ical idiosyncrasies as: Sick as Hell Anemia, Fireballs of the Eucharist, Tubal Litigation, Smilin ' Mind of Jesus, Vomikans, Purple Vaginal Discharges (Be specific about the EXACT type of contraceptive jelly), and of course, the communicable disease we all con- tracted — THE MISERIES. d Archie and His Pals Director of Clinical Training Newly Remodeled EXTERN QUARTERS of West Allegheny

A A r J. VINCENT HUFFNAGLE, D.O. Chainnan General Practice Pierre Cardin,Yves St. Laurent, Mei smith, d.o. and Geoffrey Beene are about to take the court. The fearsome foursome. Playing togettier. Not well. But then you should have seen them play golf. All fi • live in the suburbs. All four buy their clothes at Boyd ' s in Philadelphia. They gave up on the men ' s stores ine shopping centers. It was like a public court versus Wimbledon. If they found six designer name suits in thei size they were lucky. At Boyd ' s they had dozens of suits to look over. In a minute they ' ll be changing into their tennis clothes from Boyd ' s. Stick around, it might be a first . , . eight trick knees on the same court.
