tew wild arc yet trying to figure nut why sir. viiss and 0.5 Gm. arc one and the same. The wonders ot Medicine immediately attacked the fir.st one-third of the class, and Cipcic, Cro.ss. and Dwyer found themselves desperately trying to elicit histories from the most uncooperative ot ]i,itients. Geary Eicher and Don Furman took over Prcsby with a hang hut still couldn ' t get pcrmi.ssion to do as many pelvics as they desired. P.sychiatry presented a weighty problem and Irv Golding. Loren Rosenhach. Dick S.dina. and Hill Henr ' were only a lew who.se wives or mothers had to ti.x the holes m their pockets that were caused by that key-of-keys. Perh.ips the most gratifying course was O.R.. but Jules Mazer and Lew Kibler arc still amazed ,ifter doing Hfr ' P ' s on grand-multips working on their fitleeiith (ilfspring. Herb Miller ainl Art Pasach never could tigure out how or why one subtracts three months and adds .seven days tor the E.D.C., and Mei.ster and Moyer were only two of those thoroughly dumbfounded by that ! ' . ' Thom s pelvimeter. The sterile technique (?) of Surgery j-iroved too much for Lowry ,ind Longabaugh who, too, contracted sterile-phobia every time they entered O.R. Rob Klemens liked Presby so much he decided to .stay there even after his Surgery serve was over (as a librarian). Presby also saw John Lukacs giving Dr. Morris Sanders a hard time with the differential diagnosis of jaundice and Kunkle and Ligo wowing the nurses therein. Campbell and Clarke will be ever-thankful for their experiences at Children ' s in Pediatrics ( Are those kids controllable? , queried Wright. Wilson, Ward, and W.ilter in unison). Magee Hospital saw Tomci Soyka. and Thomas scurrying around the Gynecology ward (gloves in hand) ever-mindful of their professional attitude. And so tliis group of people, .iffecled .so profoundly by this syndrome of accomplishment, descended on the wards of Pittsburgh ' s hospitals. The class was al.so the first to have .ivailable for its u.se the VA Hospital at Aspinwall and among the first to be there were Tom Hohm.inn ami l5ob Radke. COMPLICATIONS: As has been mentioned there are main- neurologic mani- festations. Profound depression mingled with .iiiNuty . nd uncertainty are among the first to attack almost all the subjects of the syndrome. Mel.mcholia plays an important role. Frank elation, as was often experienced by Holt, Johnson, and Peters, spots the course of the disease throughout. The gastro-jntestmal tract presented constant problems to Ross, Schneider, and Seitz, as well as most of the rest of the group, before the exams all had to experience periodically. Whitman, Montgomery, Ciccarelli, and Spencc, among others, complained of kidne ' involvement .is polyuria resulted frequently, especially during the four hour quizzes. PROCiNOSIS: The prognosis for tho.se affected liy this Classical 54 Syndrome is excellent. Only one year remains of the four year course of the disea.se until the members of this class will receive the coveted diplomas upon which will be emlxisscd Doctor of Medicine. Then, as now, each individual will recall the fond memories of ■ the days he spent in attempting to le.irn the art of arts; each v. ' ill reflect in his own mind the enormity of the task which confronts him; e.ich will step torw.ird into the world to assume the burden of the most respected of .ill professions. To the cl.uss as a whole the teachings of Hipiiocratics, Galen, Ves.dius. ,iiid Harvey have been unfolded; to the class as a whole the mysteries of hc.ilth ,iik1 life h.ive been expl.iined. No other single group can step forward into tiie world to so completely donate their knowledge and wisdom tow.ird the better health and welf.ire of others. No other group can occupy a position in life upon which .ill others depend tor loy .ind h.ippiness. With purity and with holiness I will p.i.ss my lite .md pr.ictice my .irt. ■48]
