NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

1993

Charity

HospitalSteeped in Louisiana history, Charity

hospital embraces an intriguing and col-

orful past, having survived economichardships, natural disasters, and someof the worst political and patronage

problems in the country.

Its charter dates back to January 1736,

when Jean Louis, a French sailor, be-

queathed his estate to the founding andfurnishing of Charity Hospital in early

French Colonial Louisiana. This makesit the oldest continually operating hos-

pital in what is now United States terri-

tory (Bellevue Hospital in New YorkCity was established two months later.)

Within ten years, it became necessary

to build a new building to replace the

over-crowded original structure. Thenew hospital was conveniently located

between a canal, for receiving patients

and supplies, and a cemetery, for bury-

ing the deceased.

In 1779, a great hurricane wreakedhavoc on New Orleans, reducing Char-

ity to ruins. Rebuilt, Charity fell prey to

a kitchen fire in 1809, which burned the

entire hospital to the ground. The indi-

gent sick were temporarily housed in the

Cabildo until the hospital could be re-

stored. Five years after the fire, a newhospital was completed with the facili-

ties "vast and commodious, capable of

caring for 120 patients."

A group of citizens visiting Charity in

1818 were horrified by the conditions of

the patients, the hospital's filthiness,

and the total inadequacy of the atten-

dants. They complained to the governor

and Hospital administration and it be-

came clear new facilities were again

needed. In 1833, the fourth version of

Charity was completed at a cost of

$149,570. With the arrival of the Daugh-ters of Charity and the Medical College

of Louisiana, the overall medical atmo-sphere in New Orleans was excellent. Atthat time, the entire medical complexwas very likely among the best of its

kind in the world.

Charity weathered the Civil War, andprospered during the remainder of the

Eighteenth Century. By 1900, the hospi-

tal probably contained almost 2,000

beds, while other hospitals in the city

had perhaps only 150 beds combined.

Charity Hospital—1920

As World War I came to a close, a newwar was just beginning between the

School of Medicine and Hospital Ad-ministrators. The worst was yet to comeunder Huey P. Long's administration. In

1930, Long abruptly dismissed Dr. AltonOchsner allegedly because of Ochsner's

complaints about political constraints

placed on his attempts to build a first-

rate surgery department at Tulane. This

feud, along with the failure of Tulane to

award Long the law degree that he de-

sired played a role in the establishment

of the LSU Medical School.

It had been clear for many years that

the 100-year-old Charity Hospital build-

ing again needed to be replaced. Follow-

ing Long's assassination in 1933, Federal

funds became available to build the cur-

rent structure, completed on June 27,

1939.

After World War II, problems involv-

ing interrelationships developed notonly for Charity, but also for the medi-cal schools. The Ochsner Clinic emergedas a large medical institution, employingmany of Tulane's faculty and develop-

ing its own residency training programs.

With the rise of LSU Medical School, the

old controversies between Tulane andCharity were now simply extended to it

as well.

In the late 1950's, many sweeping

changes were considered for Charity andits associated schools. In the 1960's, the

ugly matter of segregation was dealt

with and the "colored" and "white"

wards that were on separate sides of the

hospital were eliminated.

By the late 1960's, financial problems

for the Hospital and both schools were

paramount. Woefully inadequate financ-

ing continued, however, and the hospital

has lost its accreditation on several occa-

sions since 1975. This threatens not only

Charity, but both medical schools andthe entire medical education process.

While plans for problem solving are

being developed, the question remains,

"Is Charity an anachronism, or can it be

properly funded and equipped to pro-

vide excellent care and teaching oppor-

tunities as it has in the past?" As of the

end of 1992, the future of Charity Hospi-

tal remains very much in doubt. Thestate has plans to renovate the newlypurchased hospital. Hotel Dieu, but

there are no immediate plans to renovate

the current structure we refer to as Char-

ity Hospital.

TulaneMedicalSchool

The Tulane University School of

Medicine began as the Medical College

of Louisiana in Septennber 1834, as three

brash young physicians initiated medi-

cal education in Louisiana. Establish-

ment of the school was met with consid-

erable opposition from the Creoles,

whose European ideas concerning medi-

cal education stressed academics well-

grounded in the Latin and Greek clas-

sics. Nonetheless, when the Medical

College opened its doors in January

1835, it became the first medical school

in the Deep South, and the fifteenth in

the country.

There were only eleven students in

the first class. Tuition, fees, room, and

board came to less than four hundred

dollars a year. The first few years were

difficult ones as deans seemed to comeand go, and faculty changed as fre-

quently. By 1843, however, there were

over one hundred students. Even then,

the student body came from as far awayas Pennsylvania and Connecticut, which

would have been weeks away. They also

came from closer states, such as Ala-

bama and Mississippi.

Medical school in those days wasquite different than it is today. Onlyeight months of lectures were required

to obtain an M.D. The school year wasfour months long. The same seven

courses were repeated over again the sec-

ond year. The curriculum consisted of

courses in Anatomy and Physiology,

Chemistry, Materiae Medica, Principles

and Practice of Medicine, Surgery, Ob-stetrics, and the diseases of women andchildren. Professors received no salary,

but were compensated instead by selling

tickets to their lectures to the medical

students. Instruction was almost wholly

didactic, with practical instruction in

Anatomy only. The lectures were deliv-

ered to the entire student body assem-

bled in a large room or amphitheater.

Clinical subjects were taught in the

same manner. Indeed, the unmotivated

students would often graduate without

ever having attended a delivery, ob-

served an operation or even examined a

patient, as these were to be learned as an

apprentice to a physician.

The Civil War brought a hah to all

formal medical training in 1862. TheMedical College of Louisiana was fortu-

nate to find financial security in the

form of Paul Tulane, a wealthy New Or-

leans merchant, who bequeathed

$1,250,000 to provide for a new univer-

sity. In 1884, the various departments of

the University of Louisiana were placed

under the aegis of the new institution,

Tulane University of Louisiana.

In 1910, Abraham Flexner published

his report of the ranking and classifica-

tion of medical schools, with Tulane

ranked as one of the top three Southern

institutions. At that time, Tulane's

prominent faculty included the great Dr.

Rudolph Matas, a vascular surgeon and

Isadore Dyer, a noted dermatologist whowas instrumental in the development of

the leprosarium in Carrville, Louisiana.

In 1913, Tulane boasted a School of

Pharmacy, School of Dentistry, School

of Medicine, and Graduate School of

Medicine (only the latter two remain to-

day.)

The Tulane Medical Center was orga-

nized in 1969 to broaden Tulane's com-mitment to medical education, research,

and patient care. The Tulane Medical

Center Hospital and Clinic, the first

such university hospital in Louisiana,

was dedicated in October 1976. This

300-bed hospital has enabled Tulane to

consolidate a wide range of services in a

tertiary care environment and it has be-

come a major referral center for the re-

gion.

Since its founding 157 years ago as the

Medical College of Louisiana, the Tu-

lane University School of Medicine has

undergone many changes: the most re-

•-ent of which has been the addition of a

tew hospital wing, and soon to be added

is the Environmental Health research

building. Several buildings have comeand gone, and while many different stu-

dents and faculty members have occu-

pied them, so have federal troops during

the Civil War. Though Tulane originally

catered to those students mainly from

the South, it now attracts students from

all parts of the United States. From its

meager beginnings in 1834, the Tulane

University School of Medicine has gone

on to confer over 12,000 medical degrees.

Paul Tulane would certainly be proud of

the many physicians who have gradu-

ated from the university bearing his

name.

Dedicated Faculty

Before we begin with the pages dedicated to the

senior class, we would like to dedicate this pageto four professors whose knowledge, guidance,

and inspiration were unique in our education at

Tulane. Our class has been fortunate to havelearned from the best and our four departing

faculty are the best in their respective fields: C.

Thorpe Ray, M.D., is a legend who has taught

thousands of students the art of auscultation

throughout his distinguished career. RichardRieck, M.D., imparted on us his love for

neuroscience, histology, anatomy, and all things

medical. Leon Walker, Ph.D., is an anatomist

famous not only for his infinite knowledge of the

human body but his easy going, cigarette smok-ing character. Pat Walker, M.D., a pathologist

extraordinnaire, was known for his love of teach-

ing and for his Walker's rules of survival. Thanksto all of you for sharing your knowledge andwisdom with us.

Class Sponsors

Our class has chosen two very special faculty members to be class

sponsors. Dr. Paul Rodenhauser and Dr. Alan Grogono. Although these

two men have different backgrounds, different personalities, different

specialties, and even come from different countries they share a commonlove of teaching and an excellent rapport with students.

Dr. Paul Rodenhauser, Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Medical

Student Education, Assistant Dean of Admissions and Curriculum Man-agement, and Adjunct Professor in the Dept. of Health Systems Manage-ment has been at Tulane for only two years. Reflective of his dedication

to teaching, he is the recipient of the 1992 Owl Club Award for Outstand-

ing Teaching as well as the 1992 Psych. Resident Award for Excellence in

Teaching. His concern for students takes many forms: involvement in the

Phoenix Society, advisor, confidant. Class of '93 Talent Show judge, and

host to numerous student receptions including our Match Day celebration.

Thanks Dr. Rodenhauser.Dr. Alan Grogono, Chairman and Merryl and Sam Israel, Jr. Professor

of Anesthesiology is well know for his out-going personality and wit,

abilities which served him well as co-emcee of the Class of '93 sponsored

Talent Shows. A willing and enthusiastic participant in many student

activities (especially wine and cheese parties) he is also involved behind

the scenes in the University Senate. In front of the classroom he is an

engaging and entertaining lecturer. Grog, as he is known to many, hosted

our graduation week pool party at his home. Dr. Grogono's door is always

open to students and we thank him for the never ending cheerfulness and

New Orleans entertains its tourist in its many coffeehouses, famous for their unique blends of exotic beansand the flavor of chicory. The medical students, how-ever, soon discover that coffee is much more than acultural and social drink. Soon after the first exam themedical student needs a constant supply of caffeine tostay awake during the many long nights of endlessstudy. As T-3's, coffee helps the weary studentthrough long nights on call, those "forever" morningrounds, "interesting" conferences, and post-call eve-nings. After many days like these, the med studentlearns of the numerous places to study, stay awake, andeven pawn a free cup of coffee. Here are a few of ourfavorite coffee houses and various other locations thatwe found to help us stay awake through four years ofmedical school.

The Class Of 1993There are 151 students in the graduating class of 1993. The diversity of

our class can be attributed to the wizardry of the late Dr. Newman. Hetook the applications of more than 4,000 ambitious men and women and

whittled them down to 151 - our class. We have the cultural diversity of

31 different states and territories as well as one foreign country. Approxi-

mately one-third (31%) of our class call California home, 17% Louisiana,

6% Florida, and 5% for New Jersey and New York. Twenty seven stu-

dents in our class received their undergraduate education from the Uni-

versity of California school systems. Other universities sending students

in bulk were Tulane with twelve, Notre Dame with six, and L.S.U. with

five. For some, medical school was not their first stop in an institution of

higher learning. Ten had received master degrees, three had obtained

Ph.D.'s, and one had received a J.D. It is this diversity amongst our peers

that has created a class bound by mutual respect, the truly unique Class

of 1993.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. These

immortal words best serve as a summation of our first year

of classes. The volume of information presented was enor-

mous and seemingly insurmountable. However, the music,

cuisine and culture of New Orleans provided much needed

stress relief.

The majority of our class hailed from the "Golden State",

but all four geographic corners of the country were repre-

sented. Regardless of our background, the Class of 1993

became a cohesive unit. It is amazing how fear of the "Headand Neck practical", countless runs to PJ's, sharing cheese

fries at Cooter's and surviving "Bloody October" can bring

a totally separate group of individuals together. Our class

unity became notorious and soon we also became knovim as

the best and brightest in many years. A helpful hand could

always be found and an open ear always lent.

This year marked the end of the "Walker Era" in Gross

Anatomy and yet the beginning of new careers for the

members of the Class of '93. Lighter moments on the rooftops

of the Warehouse District, the Weber Open and the 1990

Cadaver Ball with the theme 'Anatomy Night Live' will not

soon be forgotten.

We were welcomed back from the holidays with a bucket

of brains and the unlikely duo of Weber-Mascorro. Their

jokes lacked humor but we laughed all the same. Laughing is

perhaps how we ended this year - much relieved. Our hard

work had paid off. The many new friends we made would no

doubt see us through our 2nd year of textbooks.

Socialized Medicine

Ah, at last we were beginning to do what we had dreamed of doing for

most of our lives. We were finally in the hospital working with patients

and attempting to synthesize two years of crammed physiology, pathol-

ogy, and everything else. Some of us were fresh from the last summervacation of our life, while others had spent a few weeks studying for the

first part of the National Boards.

After a month of third year we discovered that medicine is a job that

goes beyond classrooms and books. Surgery at Charity could make us set

the alarm clock at 3:30 AM to finish notes before 6:30 rounds, and somemedicine students were just beginning a 'full' morning of rounds. Other

T-3's would be enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of private hospitals or

even an out of town rotation at Huey P. Long.

Regardless of what rotation we happened to be on, there was always

time for a strategically placed "we have lecture" to enjoy such events as

Jazz fest, Lollapalooza or a sunny January day. Even though spread out

over much of the city, our class still enjoyed a 'spirit' of unity through the

fall 'Big Block Bash' and Mardi Gras Crawfish Boil at the levee.

After completing the 365 days of third year we came to realize that all

the time deliberating about taking the big blocks or small blocks wasuseless. It was then time to take our weekend off and begin fourth year on

Monday.Class Officers

But on the whole the impression was neither of

tragedy nor of comedy. There was no describing it.

It was manifold and various; there were tears andlaughter, happiness and woe; it was tedious andinteresting and indifferent; it was as you saw it: it

was tumultuous and passionate; it was grave; it wassad and comic; it was trivia; it was simple and

complex; joy was there and despair; the love of

mothers for their children, and of men for women;lust trailed itself through the rooms with leaden feet,

punishing the guilty and the innocent, helpless

wives and wretched children; drink seized men and

women and cost its inevitable price; death sighed in

these rooms; and the beginning of life, filling somepoor girl with terror and shame, was diagnosed

there. There was neither good nor bad there. There

were just facts. It was life.

T-4: Time Off AndTravel

Proper Medical Attire in the Third World What's up Doc? Will the real Joe please step forward.

During the T-4 year, the Class of 1993 earned many frequent fUer

miles. After the hard work and on-call nights of third year, we thoughtwe deserved a break. This was not the case. Soon, Tulane MedicalSchool had representatives all over the country, working hard to im-press residency directors on externships, or "auditions." Of course, the

six week rotation in Jamaica remained popular throughout the year.

As externships wound down, the dreaded "interview season" began.

Once again, our classmates could be found jet-setting across the coun-try. This time taking our finest in interview attire, along with a firm

handshake and a sincere smile.

Meanwhile at home, the Class of 1993 sponsored the 1992 TalentShow and raised over $900 to buy toys for the Charity Hospital Pediat-

ric Clinic. Dr. Vincent Fulginiti, who joined Tulane along with ourclass, stepped down as Dean to move to the University of Colorado as

their new Chancellor. Finally, we were all shocked and saddened bythe sudden passing of Dr. W. Clifford Newman, the Associate Dean of

Admissions and the man most responsible for bringing us together.

In December through February, the early match results began arriv-

ing and, once again, the Green Wave rolled on. This reached a zenith

on March 17, 1993, when the majority of our class learned where wewould spend the next three to six years of our lives.

Oh yeah, it's never too late to start studying for the FLEX. We hope.

// / had my /;fe to //ve over, I'd ir-j

lo make more mistakes next time. I wouldRelax, I would limber up, I would be crazierThan I've been on finis trip. I know veryfew things I'd take seriously anymore.

I would take more chances, I would take moreTrips, I would scale more mountains,I would swim more rivers, and I wouldWatch more sunsets, I would eat more

Ice cream and fewer beans.I would have more actual troubles

And fewer imaginary ones, you see. . .

I was one of those people who lived

Prophylacticaliy and sensibly and sanely,

Hour after hour and day after dayOh, I've had my moments

And if I had it to do all overAgain, I'd have many more of themIn fact, I'd try not to have anything

Else, just moments, one after another.

Instead of living so manyyears ahead of living so many

years ahead of my day. I've beenOne of those people who never went anywhere without-

A thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, aRaincoat, and a parachute

If I had it to do all over againI'd travel lighter, much lighter,

Than I have.

I would start barefoot earlier

In the spring, and I'd stay that wayLater in the fall. And I would

Ride more merry-go-rounds, andCatch more gold rings, and greet

More people, and pick more flowers.

And dance more often. If I had It

To do all over again.

But you see,

I don't.

You may begin to doubt

What you have undertaken.

Open your eyes and just look around.

You'll find your grief mistaken.

Alpha Omega AlphaHonor Medical Society

Vice-President President Secretary-Treasurer

Election to Alpha Omega Alpha is a distinction that accompanies a

physician throughout his or her career. Especially for the young physician,

the society provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, as well as a source of

valuable contacts. Members can be elected as students, graduates, or faculty

of an affiliated institution, or, because of distinguished achievement in any

field, on an honorary basis. Elections in the first three categories are carried

out by the individual chapters. Chapters elect undergraduate members from

students in their last two years of medical school. Scholastic excellence is not

the only criterion for election: integrity, capacity for leadership, compassion,

and fairness in dealing with one's colleagues are considered to be of equal

significance, and the number of students elected from any class may not

exceed one-sixth of those expected to be graduated. The students elected to

the society are men and women who, in the judgment of the local chapter,

have shown promise of becoming leaders in their profession.

The Class Of 1993

The diversity of the graduating class of 1993 is reflected in the residency pro-

grams and medical specialties chosen. We will pursue our careers in 33 states and in

17 different specialties. The distribution is as follows: Internal medicine- 29; Sur-

gery- 44 {General-21, ENT- 8, Orthopedics- 6, Urology- 7, Neurosurgery- 2); Pediat-

rics- 14; Obstetrics and Gynecology- 13; Family Medicine- 12; Psychiatry- 7; Radiol-

ogy- 6; Ophthalmology- 6; Emergency Medicine- 6; Neurology- 3; Anesthesia- 3;

and, 2 in Pathology and Medicine/Pediatrics.

Our future was declared on a typically overcast day in the New Orleans winter.

Nervously, we filed into the auditorium at 10:30 a.m. On the stage, Drs. Pisano and

Tomlinson sat behind a small stack of envelopes. Roll call began at 11:00 a.m. Oneby one, as hailed by Dr. Tomlinson, we filed towards the stage to obtain our envel-

ope and our future. There was much cheering, jumping, and celebrating. Finally at

12:00 p.m. the class of 1993 had successfully completed Match Day 1993. It was the

most successful Match since 1982. The class did very well with 90.5% matching into

one of their top 3 programs. Of that percentage 71% obtained their first choice, 13%

their second, and 6.5% their third.

Following the Match, the class of 1993 was invited to a party sponsored by the

Alumni Association. Celebrations continued at Nick's Bar with much crawfish and

beer, and went on into the "wee hours of morning" at Rosy's Big Easy Restaurant

and Bar.

Hippocrates

The oath taken by the class on June 5, 1993:

The Oath Of Hippocrates

I swear by Apollo, the physician, the Aesculapius, and Health and All-Heal, and

by God and by whatever I hold most sacred, that, according to my ability and judg-

ment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation — I will look upon those who shall

have taught me this Art even as one of my parents.

I will share my substance with them, and I will supply their necessities if they be

in need.

I will regard their offspring in the same footing as my own brethren, and I will

teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or covenant.

I will impart a knowledge of the Art by precept, by lecture, and by every mode of

teaching not only to my own children but to the children of those who have taught

me, and to disciples bound by covenant and oath, according to the Law of Medicine,

but to none other.

The regimen I adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients according to my abil-

ity and judgment and I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.

I will seek to inform my patients fully about their illness and prognosis, and will

always remember that the final decision regarding their own life rests with the pa-

tient.

I will regard my patients always as fellow human beings and will do everything

possible to preserve their dignity.

With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art.

Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men in my attendance, on

the sick or even apart therefrom, which ought not to be noised abroad, I will keep si-

lence thereon, counting such things to be sacred secrets.

While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, 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.

c hildren's Hospital congratulates the graduates of the Tulane

University School of Medicine.

Many of you have completed clinical rotations at Children's Hospital in pediatrics,

pediatric subspecialties, pediatric rehabilitative medicine, pediatric orthopaedics,

pediatric surgery, pediatric surgical subspecialties, pediatric radiology and in a host

of other areas. We have been delighted to have you be a part of Children's Hospital

and to see how a union of the Children's Hospital with the private practicing

community and its affiliate institutions, Tulane University and Louisiana State

University, has made us a most dynamic and growing force in pediatric care in the

State of Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast area. We look forward to continued

growth, and we are certain that many of you will be a part of that growth.

As your residencies and fellowships progress we hope that many of them will be

done in part here and that we will have the opportunity to watch you grow

professionally. We hope that you will be frequent visitors and learn of the resource

of our Children's Hospital in the New Orleans and Louisiana community.

Congratulations for much happiness and fulfillment in the future.

We Dedicate This Book ToW. Clifford Newman, Jr., Ph.D.

Wiley Clifford Newman, Jr., Ph.D. 1931-1992

On December 31, 1992, respected dean, educator and friend Dr. Clifford Newman passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Dr. Newman's warm smile and sense of humor greeted us during our medical school interviews and continued to

cheer us during the hardships of medical school. He treated us as peers, and we looked upon him for support and guid-

ance.

When it came to helping those in need. Dr. Newman was always willing to participate. He helped the children of

Charity Hospital by emceeing our talent shows. Whenever tragedy befell one of us, he was there to share our sorrow or

give an encouraging word. He made it clear to us all that his advice was but a phone call away. Dr. Newman received

numerous awards, including the distinguished Gloria P. Walsh Award for excellence in teaching and service to stu-

dents.

Dr. Newman had a role in selecting every physician to graduate from Tulane over the past twenty years. He had an

ability to take a pool of thousands of applicants and from it create a diverse and cohesive class. We, the members of the

Class of 1993, are proud to have been brought together by a man we respected and grew to love.

Dr. Newman, we wish you were here to see us fulfill the dream you made possible. We thank you and dedicate our

yearbook to you. May God Bless you Dr. Newman, our mentor and our friend.
