Clinic was the Banker ' s Position of training. Sleep until 7:15 then go to work at 8, rest til 9 then introduce patients to the proper doctors imtil lunch time. The same thing was repeated in the afternoon and at 4 we were able to go off duty and socialize instead of immediately col- lapse and go to sleep! We were soon able to recognize an uncontroll- ed diabetic on sight- (I don ' t eat many grits or potatoes) — and after two weeks in OB-Gyne, we could almost tell at a glance what month she was . Pediatric clinic was vigorous, spontaneous and highly interesting. PPD ' s-Patch tests-Vaccinations, -Shots-Chicken Pox? Horrors! Quick Call con- tagc! Get the rest of the kids out of there! Screams, Shouts, Laughler-we loved it!!

And remember VNA with those smart looking coats and chic hats? The wonderlul feeling when it was discovered that the good old staff teacher drove her car on the calls! The crossed eyes and wrinkled brow from penning over city maps and a trusty old street gtiide. The worry about how all 13 kids in a family were going to sleep in one bed; The great day when you b at the supervisor to the first call by a three second margin!— Field trips to ICC, CWD, Ap Clinic and CB of H. The important feeling when yoti were on your own and opening your first new case. Doing dressings, giving hypos, bathing babies, all in the home. Those noon time reports and ota- car-fare and lunch money expense accounts. Thanks for the memories — Oh, my aching feet! 30
