trimester with classes in the alternate. Allied facilities and spring trimester became two wallflowers, well suited for each other People just wanted to get out early on externships and visit the programs to which they were applying The selection process did go fairly smmothly, and the rest of the third year was spent matching one s classmates's schedule vs. your own to everyone s self-satisfaction Summer session was fun everyone on their best behavior to try to land good evaluations. We weren't even as paranoid over surgeries Reports would come back every so often about someone and their externship, and everyone would make a mental note Where was Pat Padula? Why her? Don't apply to the one in Virginia unless you're black and would enjoy getting no salary The social highlight of that summer was probably the basketball game at Highland High school with the barbecue party at Al's afterward. Beer, crabs, hamburgers and hot dogs. Don Creen—the game's hero, and a sweet summer night. Second was Mickey's marriage to Florence but who went? Also entertaining were our tennis parties at Pier 30. Thanks to the Walters brothers we were able to eat and drink merrily and serve balls into Novicki s gut at midnight for only a few dollars. The next best socially acceptable thing to partying with all the clinicians was to gossip about them And. rumors flowed like wine as did purported eyewitnesses who would have you believe that you remember who and this doctor and that one were getting it on Either they were having a great laugh on all of us yentas. or they were foolishly brazen. The residency Olympics officially began in August upon receipt of greetings from the IRS' identical twin CASPR. with the zeal of a carnival barker and the judicious promises of an Army recruitment poster, it lured us into a binding pact at the cost of $5.00 per program. Who applied to 67 of them? Did Dave Laver apply to others besides Levine? What. Floyd only applied to Washington Memorial? Which one does Weber have sewn up? Don't waste your money on Parkview; Leona and Bruce Cohen have those spots. The list for Metropolitan grew longer with those who wanted it: jay. Charlie. Bob Heden. Clare. Jimmy D On the average. 20 programs were applied to. School started on September 1st with registration which brought us all together for the last time until our Boards in April. After signing our Catch 22s. we listened to National Board of Podiatry Examiners president Dr. Clarence Bookbinder, who came with tape recorder and a Gibleycsquc lawyer. They extolled what rewards podiatry and mankind would obtain if we would only forget the lawsuit Forget our extra micro test forget our slandered names forget our paid attorneys' fees forget our pride. Under the delusion of incomplete residency applications our class forgot By a vote of greater than two to one The final score: Class of 197ft and P.P.M.S.A. and P.C.P.M. O, National Board of Podiatry Examiners 1, Micro Dept, to receive a future draft choice, and Dean Giblcy 2 for keeping both hats As the year rumbled on. we all stayed pretty much in our own worlds, interrupted only the constant friendly parrying with everyone about residencies. The same rumors from the summer were circulated plus new ones linking Poster and Menacker at Oxford, Jam at Pittsburgh, and McBride at Waldo since Tex spent time there. Izzy firmly established himself unequivocally as class yenta accumulating information and letting parts of it seep out here and there, some times even confusing his close friend Dizzy.' He was unbelievable with rumors for everyone. Interviews came swiftly with Metropolitan. Harris County. Kern. Atlanta, and Flint arriving first Externship trimester was the easiest for everyone to take as we all picked our schedules and programs Word soon came back about the hard work at Doctor's . the disappointment at La Porta's program and the institutions at Rosewood. Met medicine was a drag for most but really offered good medical exposure for those who wanted it Those who didn't tried to get on the E R. or surgery rotations so they could skip. The most embarrassing thing about Met was our inability to enjoy meals gratis like other doctors and students A few people decided to skip externships and wound up before the CAPS committee. It brought to mind a statement from the sixth floor regarding the probable close graduation quarters at the Walnut Street theatre— your class won t be as large Allied Facilities was a mixed bag of experiences and financial committments. Unfortunately, the school still had a financial agreement with PH1HEP. Thus, we were gragged from our office visiting time and the VA hospital to serve for the school The most galling part was reading in Strides how we were waiting in line for the PHIHEP experience P.C.P.M also recieved monies from Uncle Sam so off WE went to the VA hospital to park a mile away .. type 10 page reports and get generalized grief. Allied Facilities also meant having three-to-six weeks off. and travelling all around the Delaware Valley. Remember Fort Dix Pennsylvania hospital with Zulli Pennhurst Whitemarsh Niedermayer s office? Hershey 1977 offered increased lab dissection, good orthopedic lectures, out first snow, and plenty of gossip. There were secret meetings between residency directors and our faculty, and not so secret encounters between residency directors and our students and our faculty and our students. Fourth year clinic was pretty benign for all of us The heaviest thing was Schoenhaus' anger at our class for having condemned his department to the sixth floor. Then, alt of a sudden, an unusual event occurred. As he mellowed out. he became a real teacher. To top it off. people were even claiming that he donated hts salary to the school. We figured that if he kept getting refused tenure he might even become a sensitive, well-liked instructor someday. Yes clinic wasn't bad. If you could escape the residency chatter and had a good rapport with your third year students then you could relax and enjoy such things as Louie's thirtieth birthday complete with a card signed by Jim Bates Mickey playing Santa Claus getting days off in the fall to visit programs . and posing for Ziegler s camera Lemont started injecting calluses and Carville stopped stalking the corridor Everyone started appreciating Jim Rockett and stopped appreciating the idea of a sports medicine clinic Unlike the past, classes were nothing to fight over this fourth year After all. how could you hate Hymes who was trying to teach you how to succeed in business? What business, we still don't know' Wre knew that it had to have something—this podiatry, as Hymes kept mentioning Arden's name. But different color calling cards and two hours of waiting rooms made us query our title Doctor. In rearfoot surgery we finally got to learn about all those procedures which we were being quizzed on at residency interviews Which is the Hoke? or is it Miller or Young you say? Medicine was a series of mini courses in Rheumatology. Diabetes, and Pediatrics. It was Kidawa's way of appeasing our academic lust so he would Never had to say he was sorry And. we finally met Zulli. He was a nice guy who loved to teach, and talked as if he had Anklyosing Spondylitis of the jaw. At least he gave us a six month notice of his required paper As our fourth year progressed, it took us with it. Which was fine for most who wanted to get it over with We were able to look back and see another freshman class struggle with Abe. and Schoenhaus We looked, listened, but rarely spoke as we went, taking everything in stride Donohue as our class' first resident the rumors on Green leaving to California Novicki and Jacobs wanting his job Root's new book the residency lecure series every Wednesday and our P.C.P.M surgical seminar at the Cherry Hill Inn. Spring couidn t have arrived with less grace it did that year. In that first week of April, we were to be slugged with enough events to wake the ghosts of PC.P.M past In order were to come, the CASPR selections National Boards. Part II and the senior dinner dance at the City Line Holiday Inn How ironic was it that we would spend that last big event together, with questionable feelings toward each other as we had nearly four years ago when we arrived at P.C.P.M. for a wine and cheese patty but. time was to mellow and straighten us all out. both those saddenned and those ecstatic, to a state of mind prepared for the ultimate—graduation We hustled those last few months in anticipation of June 4th, getting our affairs in order for travel, and partying whenever we could There was the Alumni dinner, a night with the surgery clinicians, and many good times with just each other . Yet now we have reached near the end of this, our joust with the past And we stand with the present to look forward Reporting the events of nearly four years can be handled variously. Here, the prespectivc was mostly solitary, admittedly retrospect, and possessed by an admixture of bias. The result is a commentary, this author's blend of time and commutativity. It leads to a point which all historians eschew—the end. It has been said that All that goes around, comes around And we leave at graduation, our commencement, a stereoscopic moment of the past and the future. Will we always be the same people? Are we similiar in context to the paradox Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi —the King is dead, long live the King? Hopefully, we have learned to live up to the strengths of our hearts, to mature past our anxieties, to know compassion, and to hold sacred the principles of Hippocrates. Borrowing from Wallace Stevens; If, without sentiment, he is what he hears and sees, and if, without Pathos, he feels what he hears and sees, being nothing otherwise, having nothing otherwise, having nothing otherwise, he has not to go to the Louvre to behold himself A toast to all of us, graduates of P.C.P.M., fellow physicians.
