THE THERAPEU TIC VALUE OF STUDY IN THE OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES OF MEDICAL STUDENTS The medical student is peculrarly prone to develop a number ol syndromes which partake of the nature ol occupational diseases. These states have in common the element ol fear or anxiety but the symptomatic manifestations vary with the Uyearn ol the student. In the First year, one sees early an epidemic ol osteophobia which is fatal in about one per cent ol all cases. Reckless indulgence in study lor about ten days results in a clearing ol symptoms and complete recovery in most cases. Then in the second semester there is pandemic subacute or acute chanutino- phobia vvhich has been known to produce a case fatality rate ol three per cent or more. I-Iere again prolonged and intensive study therapy is responsible lor dissipation ol symptoms. The second year is marked by mixed phobia reactions and panic states in which cashophobia may be prominent. Treat ment is as mentioned above. The third year ushers in a state of ambivalence in which the student is torn between his desire to placate the doctors who vvrite orders on his charts and those who have announced a little quiz next week. This situation is peculiar in that study in the traditional therapeutic measure cannot - be applied because ol the students inability to tear himself away from the ward. gf ln the fourth year, vve see the therapeutic paradox in which study is applied and ordinary doses cause exacerbations of the student's symptoms. In this year his Iear is that he isn't getting enough out of lile Cmght Intel and the very thought ol study causes an acute reaction which can be controlled only by the free use ol radical Cethyl radical, that ish treatment frequent- ly applied. an l,a.,sa:.
