Show The radiologist lives among the shadows. He lives in darkness and spends his life studying smudges, smears and controst's of black and gray. He is well suited to his environment; his personality has acclimated itself and blends well with its surroundings. Doctors Christensen and Smith were orticu!ate, sorcastic and insulting; Dr. Brown wos \-vell pre pa 1·ed but hypnotic; Dr. Sto\/\,ell was equipped with o long differential diagnosis, but would not commit hirnself to more than ''It's consistent with ... "; Dr. Condon was amozing in his ability to spot smudges which vve could never see even after they were pointed out to us. 1 The sign really reads "Merry Xmas, you son of a bitch." "It's your job to make a diagnosis; it's mine to give you something to choose from." r .·1 l i j.: 'Now honey, please wee wee for the camera." I ,-. -..__ . . The teaching program of the Department of Radiology consisted of a short series of Saturday morning lectures; student attendance at rnedical, pediatric, and surgical X-ray conferences; and a two week senior clerkship in radiology. This program was designed to give us some exposure to the radiological techniques of diagnosis and therapy and, mor·e important, to teach us the uses and limitations of X-ray. The course was successful, and we suspect that in our internships we will regret that we didn't absorb more of all we were exposed to. Perhaps the best testimonial to the effectiveness of the department's teaching is the fact that some of our nun1ber were convinced to spend their lives in the darkness. "Stop me if I go too fast." "I just have to sit down when I see my technicians." |
