David Fitzgerald '63 iq Mt During the six months of our selective period, lhad the opportunity to learn about my major field of interest, child psychiatry, in Europe. With the help of Dr. Pollard of the adolescent psychiatry unit,Iobta.inedan externship at the Crichton-Royal, the best known Scottish psychiatric hospital, in Dumfries, Scotland, a little town just north of the English border. But it was not without some trepidation thatlleft Ann Arbor, wondering just what I would find, As my plane stopped in Dublin and London, I spent a few days in each city, and then traveled by train through the Lake country which was as beautiful as its reputation. Reaching Dumfries, I was totally unprepared for my home for the next four months, a lovely old hospital on a thousand landscaped acres with its own golf course and swimming pool. The childrens' unit was in three old mansions, each converted into twenty bed units-one for psychotic children, another for the mentally retarded, and a third for personality disorders. It was a wonderful place for any child, with woods, fields, and gardens to play ing best yet, no fences or locked doors. Although carefully supervised, I was free to do as Ichoseg which was to get to know the children as people without any labels, Later when Iwas familiar with their symptoms, Iwas better able to tuiderstand why they had been classified as they had. The somewhat isolated location was more than offset by the interesting staffg there were students in medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatric-social work, occupational therapy, and special education, to say nothing of the student nurses. These young people were from all the Commonwealth countries-Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Jamaca, as well as Israel, Belgium and the United States. On weekends there was ample time to visit places of interest, sail, at- tend the Ebinbourgh Festival and take a three week camping trip in Italy with some other members of the staff. On the way home my plane stopped in Nice, Madrid and Lisbon for sightseeing. 125

X , . . .- f '.3:V Eh ' - ' -- xr ' -,r j--Q Tom Corbett '63 I am writing to you at this time from El Salvador, lo- cated in the heart of the tropics. It is a land of volcanoes, mountains, sunshine, coffee, and bananas. I have come here on a two-month foreign fellowship sponsored by the Lou- isiana State University Interamerican Program in Tropical Medicine with a grant from the U.S. Public Health Service. The work here is extremely interesting, I have seen cases of Chaga's disease, kwashiorkor, malnutrition, dys- entery, typhoid fever, tetanus of the newborn tfrom cutting the cord with a machetefl, malaria, chromoblastomycosis, micetoma, and many more, I am also doing some work with Chagas disease, taking field trips to collect bugs flihodnius prolixusb from the native huts in the rural areas and examining them for the causative trypanosome KT. Cruzil. Clinically, I have had much experience. For ex- ample, last Saturday night I worked in the Rosales Hospital E.R. Among other things, there were five machete slash- ings, three stabbings and a shooting! I shall spend next oi' I .-17 Nr A33 -. X week in the rural town of Ilobasco, where Ishall be the only physician in the area. The customs here are in many ways different from back home. This country is typically Latin-American. Life is more relaxed in many respects fi.e., two hours for lunchl and there is very little of the pressure one some- times feels at home. The social and night life is very diversified, there being something to offer for every pos- sible extreme in social tastes. It is very easy to let your life slip by while you live in one small corner of the world, never experiencing the thrill of living in foreign lands and experiencing new customs and thoughts. Here, every day is a new and exciting experience. So. if you have the urge to get out of that rut-look around, there are many opportunities such as this to go to exotic and stimulating places during your selective study period. I know this has been a very broadening experience for me and one that I shall always remember.
