2' .q-qlr Blur 1-- LEONORA AIDA ROSALIE BIZZARRI Not to give the impression that medicine has been a solemn, emotionally draining ordeal, l'll relate some of its more lighthearted aspects with a brief itinerary of my senior yean September - arrive at Flower Hospital and begin a mem- orable X-rated experience with Dr. Lucy Squire slowly creep- ing into my subconscious through 16 hours of her audio- visual aides on Radiology. November - Roosevelt Hospital - a month of manual dexterity as l became the phantom of the E.R., my trembling hands eagerly awaiting to pounce upon any unsuspecting lacerations . . . Jan.-Feb. - a General Medicine sub-internship -- where I taste the exhiliration of having sole responsibility for pa- tient management and enjoy an unusually humorous house staff, with six o'clock sign-out rounds a medical rendition of the Marx Brothers. And finally some RMS scenes of note: the luxurious lounge with the perennial vandalized TV-Stereo where the stoical student body took frequent breaks from the more demand- ing lecturesg cadaver dissection where one's anatomical ignorance was glaringly revealed with each inept incisiong the Biochem and Physiology labs - where the research of Nobel laureates was repetitively and irreverently. destroyed with our Fellini-like performances. I leave as a member of the second graduating class of As a very important period of my life closes, with twenty preparatory years of schooling at an endg and l finally begin the clinical journey of medicineg l find myself thinking of those people who so critically shaped my academic develop- ment and career. My family has always given me unstinted emotional, in- tellectual and financial support. Struggling through various scholastic crisesg from an infamous kill the pre-meds organic chemistry final, to the first traumatic Biochemistry quiz in medical school, my parents were there, prepared to congratulate me for the successes and console me for the disappointments. lt was also a great comfort on long weekends to know there was someone else with papers to write and incomprehensible texts to readg my sister Marina, also a pre-med, would be across the hall slaving in the study while I preferred the refuge of my bedroom. Even my canine companion, Silvana, deserves credit, for her hedon- istically wagging tail could always cheer me from my dark- est hours of scholastic gloom. Some faculty members of RMS have also played an essential role in my happiness, and they are: Dr. Shimamura, who was my interviewer as an applicant to med. schoolg Dr. S. Malamed, an encouraging confidant during my anxiety- ridden first semesterg Dean J. Mackenzie who exhibited a refreshing open-mindedness about women in medicine, es- pecially in the field of surgery: and Dr. Joanne Medlinsky, whose kindness and understanding of student affairs have helped reshape the interrelationships among administration, faculty and the student body. Rutgers Medical School and hope that there will be many more generations of graduates who look back at their alma mater with the same nostalgia and appreciation as I do now.
