XILED AND EXPLOITED was the way we felt about our senior service at the Margaret Hague Ma- ternity Hospital. Here we met our longest hours and did some of the most menial tasks, but in return were rewarded with the opportunity of taking charge of the sacred moment of birth. Our first experience with the patient and the pel- vic at the baby factory was in the out-patient clinic on G level. We learned to measure and feel small parts and vertex, to draw blood without a syringe, and finally emerged with highly educated fingers. Lectures introduced us to Dr. Riva and his AO stain, Dr. Breen and his ovarian tumors, and Dr. Andreson, who quietly revealed the virtues of a presacral neurectomy. We also met many attendings-Dr. Wagner taught the proper way to cut sutures, Dr. Bookrajian how to feel a cervix and smoke a cigar at the same time, and all the rest who proved that there are hundreds of ways to do an episiotomy. The military atmosphere was broken by the smil- ing face and charming manner of Dr. Kubes, who im- pressed us with his ability to do GYN procedures from below. We were a bit disappointed when he an- nounced that he could not show us a vaginal cesarean section at MHMHI But GYN was not all surgery to us, for PID reigned supreme in our junior year, and how to make a diagnosis without a pelvic kept us occupied as seniors. Pit drips that seemed endless, early morning blood rounds, late night ambulance calls, and examinations that covered anything and everything, made us happy to give the Hague back to the obstetricians when our six weeks came to an end. af' Lili' lil QQ 'A l I 'Q' ll A ,,l,,u,, ci T5 ' fir-, .

W is-,, ' i N A---ff in-. Mx ' 's A A HICKEN-POPS, wheezles, vomickin', and bronickel asthma be- came necessary parts of our vocabulary as we entered the world of the little people . Exposure to the patient and his problems through an anxious mother, made us appreciate and sympa- thize vvith the pediatrician and his practice. The wards on the fifth and sixth floors of the medical building were the scene of what were perhaps our best exposure to teaching rounds . Drs. Stevenson, Davis, Behrle, and Zangara were adept in making the cases presented interesting and informative. It was Dr. Kushnick, however, who embodied what we considered to be the prototype of the academic man, who, along with his discussion, could quote chapter and verse from the textbooks as well as three or four references from the recent literature. Here was nroundsman- shipv truly personified. Although the teaching was the highpoint of the rotation, there was also an opportunity to learn many unique skills on pediatrics- how to sink a 6 and 6 in the buttock of a screaming child, how to collect urine on an eight month old infant, and how to carry a URI for six Weeks. Two weeks of our senior year were spent at the Hague--seen by most as a welcome vacation from the hustle of the Medical Cenf ter, and by all as a chance to consider the healthy newborn, ponder the need for places like T otowa, and try to clear up our colds. 1 4 f I X Dr. Franklin C.
