fb il ......... it Having attained a goal it is the natural tendency of the mind to remember the good moments along the way andforget the bad. Thus it will be for the Class of 7969. Medi- cal school will remain in memory a series of achievements, and a time ofhard work. For many, friendships made will remain as treasured memories. The senior year will be recalled as the hrst delivery on OB-GYN, or as that remarkable case diagnosed on the medicine outpatient service. The thought of the two weeks of psychiatry will bring back a pleas- ant moodg the grinding, endless hours of student surgery will be largely repressed. During the senior year many decisions about career plans are made, and the class differentiates into the large body offuture specialists and sub-specialists and the ever and decreasing handful of students wishing to enter general or family practice. For each subdivision within the class memories of the senior year are likely to take on a different coloration. A large block of time during the senior year, the three month selective period, is used by a few as a break from routine. But most make it a part of their career plans and do basic or clinical research, or clinical work in their chosen fields. For these, this period becomes a small foretaste of things to come. We also will recall the anticipation of the senior year: only X number of weeks, and we're done! But along with our happy memories, we should carry a notion of the unpleasant ones, the bad things that happened to us as students or to our patients. The things that made us ache inside should be retained not as grudges, nor nursed as irreparable wounds-but simply kept to remind us of how not to act in the future to our fellow man, be he colleague, patient or student. As physicians we can do no less. When we look back on our student years, we will recall the first steps taken along the path ofa lifetime. It is understandable that most recollections will be pleasant ones. But let us retain also the memory ofpain, how- ever vague--and let the memory of all ofthe past, good and bad, guide our future foot- steps as physicians and as men.
