It houses schools of dentistry, medicine, nurs- ing, pharmacy, the basic sciences, and a 440-bed teaching hospital. Allied health professionals also are educated here. In the two decades since it was estab- lished, total enrollment has passed the 1,500 mark. It is the center, too, of statewide continuing education programs and a referral center for physicians and other health professionals in all sections of West Virginia. Telephone consultations on a two-hour callback basis, with complete followup, are available to physicians statewide OI IAJUSMli Until 1960, pharmacists were the only health professionals who could obtain all their education at the state university. Medicine offered only a two-year pro- gram, and nursing and dentistry none. The transition began in 1951 when the Legislature authorized construc- tion of the WVU Medical Center and levied a penny-a- bottle tax on soft drinks to provide basic financing. The WVU Medical Center was planned as a single struc- ture—Basic Sciences Building and University Hospital under one roof— on the Evansdale Campus north of the Downtown Campus. The Basic Sciences portion opened in 1957; first degrees were awarded in the early 1960 ' s. Dentistry now enrolls 240 students, medicine more than 350, and nursing 300 in four- year programs; and pharma- cy 205 in a five-year curriculum. Dental hygiene, medical technology, and physical therapy students number near- ly 200; basic science students 90; and post-doctoral resi- dents 180. f;, X ■ Mi ' mHA l l«RSn MEOCAL C£N , -OOl Of Ot« ' iSt« ' .; -OOl or VNAiwAC ( -OO ' 0 IIU  C Blood Bank Reception Desk Wl W ' ' ' f ' y I - I ' I West Virginia University Hospital is a 440-bed health center where education of students and advancement of knowledge goes hand in hand with the best in medical care. It is the hub of the Medical Center complex, providing the training ground where students learn the science and art of caring for patients. Services in some 50 specialties are provided for bed patients as well as through clinics where more than 2,000 patients are seen weekly. Emergency Room service is provided around the clock, with more than 39,000 visits recorded annually. Patients come to University Hospital and its clinics from all parts of West Virginia. They find expertise, equipment, and experience sometimes not available at other West Virginia hospitals, in areas such as transplant surgery, bladder pacemakers, linear accelerator radiation therapy, pediatric surgery, and cleft palate repair. CHARLESTON WHEELING DIVISIONS In 1972, WVU and the Charleston Area Medical Center — the state ' s largest hospital complex — began a partnership to develop medical and other health science programs. They were based in hospitals and other facilities already in place, but in 1977 a $6 million Medical Education Building was opened. It serves as the center for the clinical education programs. The Charleston Division of the WVU Medical Center expands the patient base and student capacity for WVU ' s health sciences educational programs. It serves students in dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health fields, in addition to offering specialty training. In 1974 the WVU School of Medicine estab- lished the Wheeling Division in cooperation with Ohio Valley General Hospital and Wheeling Hospital. The program is overseen by a joint Wheeling Area Medical Education Committee and offers elective opportunities for fourth-year students and postgraduate specialty training. At the WVU Medical Center, as well as its Charleston Division and the School of Medi- cine ' s Wheeling Division, equal emphasis is given to teaching, research, and service — the pillars of sound health sciences education. In- struction is closely integrated among the health sciences, and there is a continuous search for improved ways of teaching. STUDENT LIFE 13 14 15 H r J - — - ' THE PYLONS A SCULPTURED HISTORY OF MEDICINE Top: Hippocrates (460- 370 B.C.) Father of Medi- cine. Hippocratic medi- cine ' s chief concerns were the patient and diag- nosis and treatment based on observed facts. Bottom: Aristotle (384- 322 B.C.) Comparative anatomist and embryolo- gist. Top: The Apothecary. And thou shalt make .... an ointment compound after the art of the apoth- ecary. Exodus 30:25. Bottom: The Old Testa- ment legislated social hy- giene for the good of the individual and the com- munity. Top: William Harvey (1578-1657), discoverer of the circulation of the blood, studying the flow of blood in the veins. Bottom: The Reverend Stephan Hales (1677-1761) making the first measure- ment of blood pressure, using the direct method on a horse. Top: Benvenutus Gras- sus (circa 12th Century) made studies on the structure of the eye. His writings were the acknowledged text on opthalmology for 500 years. Bottom: A Deaconess in a medieval hospital carrying out Christian- ity ' s essential aim .... the assistance of the sick .... a work of hu- man and divine pity. Castiglioni The eight unique marble reliefs adorning the Pylons at the entrance to the School of Medicine are the work of the noted sculptor Milton Horn. Mr. Horn, born in the Russian Ukraine in 1906, studied the History of Medicine extensively before beginning work on the reliefs in 1954. The white marble tablets were installed in the Pylons in 1956. The plaques depict milestones in the History of Medicine, each relief being roughly divided into upper and lower halves. Photographs and descriptions of the sculptures were done by his wife, Estelle Horn, and are reproduced here. Top: Ephraim McDowell (1771-1830) treating tumor of the ovary by the first re- moval of this organ. Bottom: gnaz Semmel- weis (1818-1865) insti- tuted methods of pre- venting childbed fever, thus saving the lives of thousands of mothers.

Top: The American Wil- liam Beaumont (1785- 1853) advanced physiol- ogy by his study of the di- gestive processes in the living stomach of Alexis St. Martin after a healed shotgun wound left a per- manent opening. Bottom: Wilhelm Roent- gen (1845-1923) discov- ered the X-ray in 1895. The panel shows the fluoroscope which uses X- ray in the examination of the interior of the living Top: The development of dentistry as a modern sci- ence began with the writ- ings and practice of Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761), who is depicted examin- ing a patient. Bottom: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) inoculating a dog with rabies virus via a hole bored through the skull — part of an experi- ment to develop a rabies vaccine. HIPPOCRATIC OATH I SWEAR BY APOLLO THE PHYSICIAN, BY AESCULAPIUS, HYGIEIA, AND PANACEA, AND BY ALL I HOLD MOST SACRED THAT ACCORDING TO MY ABILITY AND JUDGEMENT I WILL KEEP THIS OATH AND THIS STIPULATION. THAT I WILL BE LOYAL TO THE PROFESSION OF MEDICINE, AND JUST AND GENEROUS TO ITS MEMBERS. THAT I WILL EXERCISE MY ART SOLELY FOR THE CARE OF MY PATIENTS AND THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE, AND WILL GIVE NO DRUGS AND PERFORM NO OPERATION FOR A CRIMINAL PURPOSE AND FAR LESS SUGGEST SUCH A THING. THAT I WILL LEAD MY LIFE AND PRACTICE MY ART IN UPRIGHTNESS AND HONOR. THAT INTO WHATSOEVER HOUSE I SHALL ENTER, IT SHALL BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SICK AND THE WELL TO THE UPMOST OF MY POWER, AND THAT I WILL HOLD MYSELF ALOOF FROM WRONG AND CORRUPTION AND FROM TEMPTING TO VICE. THAT WHATSOEVER I SHALL SEE OR HEAR OF THE LIVES OF MEN WHICH OUGHT NOT BE SPOKEN, I WILL NOT DIVULGE. WHILE I CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS OATH INVIOLATE MAY IT BE GRANTED TO ME TO ENJOY LIFE AND THE PRACTICE OF THE ART, RESPECTED BY ALL MEN IN ALL TIMES. BUT, SHOULD I TRESPASS AND VIOLATE THIS OATH, MAY THE REVERSE BE MY LOT!

Not even a mouse. IV bags were hung By the bedside with care. In hopes that a student Soon would be there. The patients were All restrained In their beds. While visions of nurses Danced in their heads. And 1 in my scrub suit And Gus in his cap. Had just scrubbed in For an emergency lap. When out on the floor There arose such a clatter, That he had me break scrub To see what was the matter. 1 ran to the ward And thew open a chart. When the silence was broken By an ear splitting fart. And what to my wondering Eyes should appear? An incontinent Old Gomer In his Gerry chair. With little old arms So skinny and quick, I knew in a moment He ' d be a tough stick. More rapid than Nugent, My answers they came, I shouted my orders And called them by name. Give Haldol, Give Valium, Let ' s make him a Veg, Now packed cells. Now fluid. Now Lasix, Now Dig. Now back to his room At the end of the hall, Wheel away, wheel away. Wheel away all. I came from his room And was turning around. When past me he ran Down the stairs he did bound. He was dressed in a gown With a slit down the back. Flashing at nurses. His old Comer ' s crack. His eyes how they twinkled. His dimples how merry. His cheeks were like roses. His nose like a cherry. His droll little mouth In the shape of an O , The beard on his chin Was as white as the snow. The end of his Foley He held tight in his teeth. The urine encircled His head like a wreath. With a jaundiced face And a round little belly. That shook when he ran Like a bowl full of jelly. With a wink of his eye And a twist of his head, I suddenly knew I had something to dread. He spoke not a word. But he got a good start By wheezing and pissing And cutting a fart. And sticking his finger Inside of his nose, He smiled at the nurses And threw off his clothes. And I heard him exiaim. As he ran down the hall, Merry Christmas to you And I ' ll see you next call! 109 ALPHA OMEGA ALPHA 75 years ago, six medical students at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago organized an honorary medical society to recogni e excellence in their peers and teachers. Thus Alpha Omega Alpha was born, with the expressed purpose of . . . promotion of scholarship and research in medical schools, the encouragement of a high standard of character and conduct among medical students and graduates, and the recognition of high attainment in medic a! science, practice, and related fields. AOA membership of the West Virginia University School of Medicine constitutes those students and faculty who have distinguished themselves in the pursuit of their medical education, or who have attained It adership in the medical profession.

' Siate Zip So You Want To Be a . DOCTOR BY ALBERT A. SEPSIS, MD WHAT A DOCTOR DOES The AMA is concerned over the current wild pro- liferation of doctors in American today. There are simply more than enough physicians to serve our society efficiently already, yet increasing numbers of students think they want to plan for a career in medicine. Let us get one thing straight. A doctor does nof do the following: he does not perform miraculous cures. He does not smile genially at every idiot who walks or is wheeled into his office or O.R. He is not some damn Marcus Welby-Doctor Kildare type you see on television. A doctor cares for, maintains, and treats the hu- man body. He cures diseases that have names he can barely pronounce. He tells people that they are going to die of cancer. He spends all his time either in his too-small, suffocating office — where the brats scream at the sight of a tongue depressor — or, worse, in a hospital — where the halls are full of the dying and the dead, and everybody and his brother is throwing up. On you, yes, doctor, on you and your nice white slacks. The doctor also handles — literally handles — blood and internal organs. He gives painful hypodermic injections that make him universally loathed. He saws off limbs, analyzes urine and excrement, and cuts people ' s chests. If he makes a mistake, he can be sued for amounts in excess of the gross national product of Peru. And there is the ever-present possibility that he may contract whatever virus, bacterium or crud that he is supposedly trying to cure, and end up a patient himself. EDUCATION REQUIRED Begin with four years in college: you must take biology courses (where you will most certainly dis- sect frogs, pigs, and Christ knows what else) and chemistry courses (where you will inhale things un- known in Hell itself). Then, if you are accepted, you will go to medical school. For four years. I say If you are accepted because you will not be accept- ed. Nobody is accepted, and those who experience rejection undergo permanent damage to their self- esteem. But no, you want to be a doctor, you want to be some damned Ben Casey or Chad Everett with the stethoscope and the pretty radiology assis- tants. Very well. Four years of memorizing the intricate Latin name of every bone in the body, every mus- cle, every vein, artery, nerve, and capillary. Four years of impossibly arduous study, of learning how to recognize, analyze, and treat seven million dis- eases. I beg your pardon? Did you say, And then I can be a doctor ? You fool. Assuming that you got your training in an American med school, and not some unaccredited, unauthorized, unsanitary Mexican hellhole where you go through the same basic riga- marole but in Spanish — after med school comes a year of internship. If this term confuses you, try using the word slavery. Good, then: a year as a slave in a hospital. Then comes residency. Not much more than a glorified internship, and it lasts from two to five years. By now you ' re — what? — twenty- nine? Thirty? Good. Then you ' re deemed ready to work with patients firsthand. Firsthand encounters with disease, pestilence, misery, rot, and filth. Are you happy now? No, you are not happy, because then you must serve one to three years as a resident in your spe- cialty. And you will have specialty. So any cozy little fantasies you may harbor about becoming the crusty, irascible old G.P. who delivers babies with a pocketknife should be kissed good-bye. HOW TO ENTER THE FIELD Let ' s just say that if the gods smile upon you, and you do manage to drag yourself through all the required training, you could still end up starving. Why? Because there are far too many doctors in this country today. This includes those in private practice, at hospitals, and in research. Period. BENEFITS No pretty nurses, no grateful relatives weeping with joy. You may, after a few decades of uninter- rupted labor, pull in a salary of something between $25,000 and $30,000 a year. Not bad, but construc- tion workers make more. And you have satisfac- tion of serving your fellow man, for what that ' s worth. You get to be called Doctor instead of Mister, if that sort of thing appeals you.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare youself with others, you may become vain bitter; for always there will be greater lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
