Always take the time to listen, to con- sider and to try to comprehend the prob- lem your patient tells you about — above all listen. And when his problems are clear to you, explain them to the patient in language he can understand. Clear communication takes so little — yet means so much. William H.

Science goes forward only through n Ww ideas and through creative or original power of thought. In education, we must, therefore, take care that knowledge — which should arm the mind does not overwhelm it by its % weight, and that rules, intended to support weak parts of the mind, do not atrophy the strong and fertile parts. I need not enter into further explanations here; I have had to limit myself by forewarning biological science and experimental medicine against exaggerating the importance of erudition and against invasion and domination by systems; because sciences submitting to these would lose their.fertili would abandon the independence and freedom essential to the progress of humanity.” Seip “Experimentation must precede dog- ma Andreas Vesalius PATHOLOGY .. . the survivors of THE FIFTEEN are introduced .. . the same sort of informational overdose but amore relaxed crowd ... slides... gross sections. . the synopsis of Anderson is simply inadequate. . . the Framingham Study . . . an astounding increase in the number of vegetarians... aflatoxin. .. my god I ate two pieces of moldly bread last night . . . who is Hackett’s tailor? .. . kodachromes . . . microfiches . . . all skin lesions known to man in two hours...
