Reflections As perplexity of soul will be your lot and portion, accept the situation with a good grace. Sir William Osler What was it like? .. . Medical school. . . at Florida... in the class of 1976? It was, of course, the best of times and the worst of times; the unique experience of eighty-two individuals; a juncture in time, in space and in the passage of our lives where none of us shall ever be again. . . It has ended, but it was not one of those experiences which, sadly, slip by quietly, unnoticed and unremembered, like a fiddler crab in one’s path on a silent evening’s solitary shoreline stroll . . . Medical school was peripheral to the lives of none of us. At times it seemed to overwhelm us, like a breaking wave tumbling unwary swimmers helter-skelter up the shore... . and even in its calmer moments, its tides and currents pulled at us inexorably, seeking to shape our minds, our values and our entire lives .. . Some grew to love and some even to hate the experience, but all lived it intensely; and re- gardless of our attitude, now that it has ended, we can each feel that we have made at least a significant be- ginning to the course of our adult lives.

The very first step towards success in any occu- pation is to become interested in it. Osler The hardest conviction to get into the mind of fe RAN. a beginner is that the education upon which CEYBRVZA) he is engaged is not a college course, not a OSS ss medical course, but a life course, for which omens the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.
