Early in the second year, we had two courses Roentgenology and Radiology. We never could tell the difference. Dr. Tuddcnham expanded 3 lectures into 1.5 and designed it so that all 15 sounded alike. He asked how many years wo fellows went to school — 2 or 3? The course was highlighted by Dr. Campbell’s chest films of the topless go-go dancer. Roentgenology was highlighted by Dr. Kchr's notes, quizzes, slides, filims and old involucrum. What about Dr. Zulli’s crow’s feel, static electricity and acupuncture lectures?

Prior to his class we didn’t know o bow from a bloucher or a Goodyear Welt from a Jack Purcell. You know what? We still don’t. How about those guest lectures by Jack Silver-man and Plato Schwartz. Dr. Schutta proved that in addition to leaching Neurology, he could act too. Remember his oscar winning Parkinson patient act, or his General Patton comment line of ‘Take him out and shoot him. Dr. Zaslow’s course was a truly bright light in an otherwise bland curriculum. We may never forget bis vivid inclass case histories. We never knew when it was our turn to be called, but it was strange how enjoynblc It was to attend lectures — especially after you had been called.
