Charity HospitalA New Orleans
Legend
Steeped in Louisiana history, Charity
hospital embraces an intriguing and color-
ful past, having survived economic hard-
ships, natural disasters, and some of the
worst pohtical 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 makes it
the oldest continually operating hospital in
what is now United States territory
(Bellevue Hospital in New York City wasestabhshed two months later.)
Within ten years, it became necessary to
build a new building to replace the over-
crowded original structure. The new hospi-
tal was conveniently located between a
canal, for receiving patients and supplies,
and a cemetery, for burying the deceased.
In 1779, a great hurricane wreaked havoc
on New Orleans, reducing Charity to ruins.
Rebuilt, Charity fell prey to a kitchen fire
in 1809, which burned the entire hospital to
the ground. The indigent sick were tempo-
rarily housed in the Cabildo until the hospi-
tal could be restored. Five years after the
fire, a new hospital was completed with the
facilities "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 hospitals filthiness, and the
total inadequacy of the attendants. Theycomplained to the governor and Hospital
administration and it became clear newfacilities were again needed. In 1833, the
fourth version of Charity was completed at
a cost of $149,570. With the arrival of the
Daughters of Charity and the Medical Col-
lege of Louisiana, the overall medical atmo-
sphere in New Orleans was excellent. Atthat time, the entire medical complex wasvery 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 hospital
probably contained almost 2,000 beds,
while other hospitals in the city had per-
haps only 150 beds combined.

As World War I came to a close, a newwar was just beginning between the School
of Medicine and Hospital Administrators.
The worst was yet to come under Huey P.
Long's administration. Long immediately
reorganized the Board of Administrators
and replaced the Superintendent with Dr.
Arthur Vidrine. In 1930, Long abruptly
dismissed Dr. Alton Ochsner allegedly be-
cause of Ochsner's complaints about politi-
cal 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 desired, quite possibly played a role in
the establishment of the Louisiana State
University Medical School.
It had been clear for many years that the
100-year-old Charity Hospital building
again needed to be replaced. Following
Long's assassination in 1933, federal funds
became available to build the current struc-
ture, completed on June 27, 1939.
After World War II, problems involving
interrelationships developed not only for
Charity, but also for the medical schools.
The Ochsner Clinic emerged as a large
medical institution, employing many of
Tulane's faculty and developing its ownresidency training programs. The Veterans
Administration Hospital also developed a
residency program. With the rise of LSUMedical School, the old controversies be-
tween Tulane and Charity were now simply
extended to it as well.
In the late 1950's, many sweepingchanges were considered for Charity and its
associated schools. In the 1960's, the ugly
matter of segregation was dealt with andthe "colored" and "white" wards that were
on separate side of the hospital were elimi-
nated.
By the late 1960's, financial problems for
the Hospital and both schools were para-
mount, particularly as Tulane was increas-
ing its residency affiliations with hospitals
other than Charity. Woefully inadequate
financing continued, however, and the hos-
pital has lost its accreditation on several
occasions since 1975. This threatens not
only Charity, but both medical schools and
the entire medical education process.
While plans for problem solving are be-
ing developed, the question remains, "Is
Charity an anachronism, or can it be prop-
erly funded and equipped to provide excel-
lent care and teaching opportunities as it
has in the past?" One can only hope that
future administrations will act favorably on
initiatives to preserve Charity's tradition
and improve on its current state of affairs.

Tulane Medical
SchoolThe Tulane University School of Medi-
cine began as the Medical College of Louisi-
ana in September 1834, as three brash
young physicians initiated medical educa-
tion in Louisiana. Establishment of the
school was met with considerable opposi-
tion from the Creoles, whose European
ideas concerning medical educationstressed academics well grounded in the
Latin and Greek classics. 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 come and go, andfaculty members changed as frequently. By1843, however, there were over one hun-
dred students. Even then, the student bodycame from as far away as Pennsylvania andConnecticut, which would have been weeks
away. They also came from closer states,
such as Alabama and Mississippi.
Medical school in those days was quite
different than it is today. Only eight monthsof lectures were required to obtain an M.D.The school year was four months long. Thesame seven courses were repeated over
again the second year. The curriculum
consisted of courses in Anatomy and Physi-
ology, Chemistry, Materiae Medica, Princi-
ples and Practice of Medicine, Surgery,
Obstetrics, and the diseases of women andchildren. Professors received no salary, but
were compensated instead by selhng tickets
to their lectures to the medical students.
Instruction was almost wholly didactic,
with practical instruction in Anatomy only.
The lectures were delivered to the entire
student body assembled 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,
observed an operation or even examined a
patient, as these were to be learned as an
apprentice to a physician.

The Civil War brought a halt to all
formal medical training in 1862. The Medi-cal College of Louisiana was fortunate to
find financial security in the form of PaulTulane, a wealthy New Orleans merchant,
who bequeathed $1,250,000 to provide for
a new university. In 1884, the various
departments of the University of Louisianawere placed under the aegis of the newinstitution. The Tulane University of Loui-
siana.
In 1910, Abraham Flexner published his
report of the ranking and classification of
medical schools, with Tulane ranked as oneof the top three Southern institutions. Atthat time, Tulane's prominent faculty in-
cluded the great Dr. Rudolph Matas, a
vascular surgeon, and Isadore Dyer, a
noted dermatologist who was 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 Medi-cine (only the latter two remain today.)
The Tulane Medical Center was organ-
ized in 1969 to broaden Tulane's commit-ment to medical education, research, andpatient care. The Tulane Medical Center
Hospital and Clinic, the first such univer-
sity 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 environmentand it has become a major referral center
for the region.
Since its founding 158 years ago as the
Medical College of Louisiana, the TulaneUniversity School of Medicine has under-
gone many changes: the most recent of
which have been the addition of a newhospital wing and the EnvironmentalHealth Research building. Though Tulaneoriginally catered to students mainly fromthe South, it now attracts students from all
parts of the United States. From its meagerbeginnings in 1834, the Tulane University
of Medicine has gone on to confer over
12,000 medical degrees. Paul Tulane wouldcertainly be proud of the many physicians
who have graduated from the university
bearing his name.

Class Sponsor Dr. Jaspan
Each graduating class selects two faculty
members as class sponsors and this year Dr.
Jaspan and Dr. Ferrara were unanimously cho-
sen. Although these two men have different
backgrounds, different personalities, different
specialties, and even come from different coun-
tries, they share a common love of teaching and
an excellent rapport with students.
Dr. Jonathan B. Jaspan is the TuUis-Tulane
Alumni Professor of Medicine and Director of
the Tulane Diabetes Program and Endocrinol-
ogy Training Program. A native of South Africa,
Dr. Jaspan has been at Tulane since 1991. Dr.
Jaspan is highly regarded by students for his
outstanding bedside diagnostic and teaching
skills. Dr. Jaspan has gone beyond the tradi-
tional curriculum to conduct extracurricular
weekly physical diagnosis rounds for any inter-
ested T3s and T4s as well as a board review
course in his home for T4s preparing for
USMLE Step II.
Dr. Jaspan and his wife hosted an elegant
graduation reception at the English Turn Coun-
try Club.
28
Ir. Ferrara Class Sponsor
Dr. John J. Ferrara, Professor of Surgery andDirector of Medical Student Education for the
Department of Surgery, has been at Tulane since
1990. Reflective of his dedication to teaching, he
is the recipient of the 1991, 1992, and 1993 OwlClub Awards for Distinguished Clinical Instruc-
tor as well as the 1993 Owl Club Award for
Course Director, Best Department. AlthoughDr. Ferrara is distinguished by his quality re-
search and service to patients, it is his dedication
to teaching medical students that sets him apart.
Students who rotated on Charity Service II were
fortunate to spend many hours at the patients'
bedside with Dr. Ferrara. Those students whorotated through Charity for General Surgery
benefited from his weekly conference and the
class as a whole certainly benefited from his
General Surgery Syllabus!
Dr. and Mrs. Ferrara hosted two class recep-
tions at their home, one in December and one for
Match Day. The Match Day - St. Patrick's DayCrawfish Boil will be fondly remembered.

New Orleans entertains its tourists in its many coffee houses, famous for their unique
blends of exotic beans and the flavor of chicory. Medical students, however, soon
discover that coffee is much more than a cultural and social drink. Soon after the first
exam, the medical student needs a constant supply of caffeine to stay awake during the
many long nights of endless study. As T-3's, coffee helps the weary student through
long nights on call, morning rounds, "interesting" conferences, and post-call evenings.
After many days like these, the med student learns of the numerous places to study,
stay awake, and even pawn a free cup of coffee. Here are a few of our favorite coffee
houses that we found to help us stay awake through four years of medical school.

The Class of 1994
There arc 142 students in the graduating class of 1994. The diversity of our class can be attributed
to the wizardry of the late Dr. Wiley Clifford Newman. He took the applications of more than 6,000
ambitious men and women and whittled them down to form our class. We have the cultural diversity of
33 different states and territories as well as seven foreign countries. Approximately one-quarter (25.6%)
of our class call California home, while 14% claim Louisiana, 12% New York and New Jersey, and 8%Florida.

Every Touch Counts
Dr. Judith Bray & Dr. Velma But-
ler
We touch our children in manywaysWe touch their mindsWe touch their hearts
We touch their souls
We touch their bodies.
There are many kinds of touches
Some touches heal
Some touches hurt
Some touches create
Some touches destroy.
We touch with voices, attitudes,
expressions, handsBut every touch counts.

You Know You're At Home In
New Orleans When...
You drink "Pixie^ not sing it
You not only say Tchoupitoulas, but you can say it without
laughing.
You have discovered that those four-inch long cockroaches
can ily, but have decided to retain your sanity anyway.
You begin to believe that purple, green, and gold look good
together and will even eat things those colors.
You know exactly what you are going to eat next Monday,
and the Monday after that, and after that
You are no longer shocked when someone advises your to
"suck the heads and eat the tails''.
You make groceries, not buy them.
You're not airaid when someone wants to "axe" you.
You consider it a honor, on certain occasions, to have
cabbages or coconuts thrown at you.
You are able to make a U-turn on St Charles Avenue
avoidingjoggers, other drivers and moving streetcars.
You describe items of a certain hue as being "K8rB purple".
You get on a bus marked "Cemeteries" without a second
thought
You do not think about spinach when you see the word
"Popeye's".
You've finally mastered the technique of hitting a
cockroach with a shoe just hard enough to kill the
cockroach but not ruin your Oriental carpet.
You'll only eat a sandwich that's bigger than your head.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered
by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer
much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." - TheodoreRoosevelt

"To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is
a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence - a faith
in the dream."
Hans Seize, M.D.
I want to dedicate this page to all the people who helped makemy dream come true, but especially my husband Dee, daddy,
momma, and granny,
Tulane provided me with a great education.
New Orleans added the spice.
I will always think of both with a smile.

Its All Greek To Me
The staff of Aesculapius (Latin spelling) is pictured as a wooden staff with a single serpent
twining around it. Aesculepius (Greek spelling) was the Greek god of medicine, and was the
son of Apollo and the nymph Coronis. According to legend Coronis was killed for being
unfaithful, but Aesculapius was saved and raised by Chiron, the centaur, who taught Aescula-
pius the ways of the healing arts. Aesculapius married Eipone and had several children
including two daughters, Hygiea and Panaceia, and two sons. Machaon and Podaleirios, the
two sons being noted by Homer in the Iliad as physicians during the Trojan War. The remedies
practiced by Aesculapius varied from benign advise such as fasting to reduce fever, to moreviolent therapies of bleeding, abstinence, and "friction". Many temples were built for Aescu-
lapius, the more famous ones being Cos, Cnidus, and Epidaurus, and it was common for
stricken individuals to actually sleep at the temples whereby the gods would visit them at
night and their dreams would be interpreted in the morning for clues toward the cure of their
ailment. One legend describes Aesculapius' death as a result of a thunderbolt hurled by Zeus
who was jealous of the healing skills possessed by Aesculapius as they threatened to makemen immortal and therefore equals to the gods. The tradition of Aesculapius was brought to
Rome around 293 B.C. in hopes that it would bring good luck and healing against a plague
that was at that time assailing the city.
The image of Aesculapius was always with a walking staff in hand, around which twined a
single serpent. The snake has historically represented wisdom, learning and fertility. It's
association with the healing arts may well come from it's long life, keen eyesight, and annual
renewal of skin. The staff and snake symbol eventually came to stand on it's own to represent
the pure, ethical, and non-commercial ideals of medicine. It is currently the symbol for the
Royal Medical Corps of Great Britain, the American Medical Association, and the Royal
Canadian Medical Corps.
The caduceus consists of a long, straight staff, topped by a pair of wings, and
around which two serpents are entwined. It's development into a symbol for
medicine is somewhat more obscure.
A look to Greek mythology reveals that the staff is associated with Hermes, the
wing-footed messenger of the gods (Roman: Mercury), who carried the staff as a
symbol of peace. As legend goes the staff was originally given to Hermes by
Apollo as a reward for allowing Apollo to invent the lyre. The staff had the powerto unite all things divided by hate: when Hermes traveled to Arcadia he came upontwo serpents locked in combat at which time he placed the staff between them andobserved the cessation of their fighting and a friendly entwining of both snakes
around the staff. The word caduceus roughly translates to "herald's wand" in
Greek. The wand was carried by heralds and town cryers, and served as both a
symbol of public office and as an emblem of peaceful and neutral gatherings. It
was first used as a medical symbol in the 16th century by Johann Froeben, a
publisher of medical books, who used to print the caduceus on his title pages.
Then a physician to Henry VIII began to use the emblem on his crest. In I 856 the
caduceus was associafed with the 'Hospital Stewards of the U.S. Army". In 1871
the U.S. Public Health .?rvice began to use the symbol, and it was finally adopted
by the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1910. One possible reason for the developmentof the caduceus to represent medicine over the staff of Aesculapius is that it is a
more balanced and aesthetically pleasing symbol.— David R. Quincy

The Oath Of Hippocrates
I swear by Apollo, the physician, the Aesculapius, and Health and AU-Heal, and by God and by whatever I hold most sacred,
that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation - 1 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 ofmy patients according to my abihty andjudgment 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 patient.
I will regard my patients always as fellow human beings and will do everything possible to eserve their dignity.
With purity and with hohness I will pass my hfe 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 silence 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.

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, graduated, 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 1994
The diversity of the graduating class of 1994 is reflected in the residency programs and medical
specialties chosen. We will pursue our careers in 31 different states and in 17 different specialties. Thedistribution is as follows:
5 - Anesthesiology 12 - Pediatrics
3 - Emergency Medicine 1 — Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
15 - Family Practice 5 - Psychiatry
27 - Internal Medicine 8 — Radiology
3 - Medicine/ Pediatrics 32 - Surgery
1 - Neurology 20 - General Surgery
12 - Obstetrics and Gynecology 4 - Neurosurgery
3 - Ophthalmology 5 - Orthopedic Surgery
1 - Pathology 3 - Otorhinolaryngology
Our future was declared on a warm New Orleans day, March 16, 1994. Nervously, we began
filing into the auditorium at 10:30 am. On the stage, Drs. Pisano and Tomlinson sat behind a small stack
of envelopes. Roll call began at 11:00 am. One by one, as hciiled by Dr. Tomlinson, we headed toward the
stage to obtain our envelope and our future. There was much cheering, jumping, and celebrating. Finally
at about noon, the class of 1994 had successfully completed Match Day 1994. It was one of the most
successful Matches in Tulane history. 91% of people matched into one of their top three programs: 69%of our class obtained their first choice, 15% their second and 7% their third.

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 guidance.
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 students.
Dr. Newman had a role in selecting every physician to graduate from Tulane over the past twenty years. He has 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 1994,
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.
