DISCHARGE SUMMARY The North Carolina Memorial Hospital Chapel Hill. N.C 27514 CLASS OF 1988 Unit 05-08-88-1 Date of Admission: 8-14-84 Attending: Stuart B ondurant, MD Date of Discharge: 5-8-88 ADMISSION DIAGNOSIS: Medical Ignorance DISCHARGE DIAGNOSIS: Medical Ignorance, Chronic Debt History and Physical : The class was admitted with 162 members from 20 states and 4 foreign countries. Previous occupations included preacher, surveyor, nurse, teacher, carpenter and hippy. There was a large number of direct admits. Prior to admission, the class carried a diagnosis of medical ignorance and multiple personalities. Physical exam was remarkable for a variation in height from 4 ' 10” to 6 ' 4 . Weight ranged from 90 to 210 lbs. On mental status exam, the class was intermittently alert and oriented. The attention span was 50 minutes. The fund of knowledge was abysmal. There were delusions of grandeur. Medical School Course, Basic Sciences : The class was placed on an experimental protocol and started well with no failures in Cell Biology. Large doses of Biochemistry, Anatomy, and Pathology resulted in several adverse reactions. After two intense years of study, the degree of ignorance was only minimally lessened. A Neurologic systems consult was obtained at the end of the second year proved to be worthless. Mental status exam at this time now showed the attentions span to be 10 minutes. Based on the improving fund of knowledge, it was decided to transfer the class to the hospital. Third Year : After hours of useless and unfounded worry about schedules, the class was placed in various locations around the state. Chronic disorientation and anxiey during the first rotations almost proved fatal, but dedication and intestinal fortitude resulted in upgrading the class ' prognosis to excellent. Mental status exam now showed the class to have a 36 hour, non-stop attention span and delusions of grandeur in more than 20 students who wanted to become surgeons. Fourth Year : Career choices were made and the class scattered to the four corners of the earth including Scotalnd, India, Belize, Africa and Fuquay-Varina. Increasing knowledge and responsi- bility encouraged self-confidence. A brief setback was suffered during the residency application and interview process, including acute delusions of grandeur, but large doses of AI ' s soon cured any preoccupation with matters other than sleep and food. Physical exam showed the height as on admisssion, but the class mean weight was increasing. Mental status exam now revealed the class to be A 0 x 3 with appropriate perspective. The final disposition of the class is left to the astrologers and random number generators at the NRMP. Disposition : Transfer to residency appointments when available for further work-up and treatment of medical ignorance. Follow-up : 5th year reunion and every 5 years thereafter.
