Bose
By the time Texas A&M Univer
sity medical students are redy to
begin their final 24 months of train
ing, they have already had about a
year of hands-on experience in
patient-doctor relations, thanks to a
program involving almost four dozen
local and area physicians.
During the students’ second-year,
white-smocked figures venture out
by twos and threes on Tuesday after
noons to visit doctors at offices and
hospitals in Bryan-College Station,
Caldwell, Navasota, Madisonville
and Brenham, explains Dr. Phil
Davis, head of the Family/Commun-
ity Medicine Department at Texas
A&M and coordinator of the
cooperative venture.
When the students get to the of
fices or hospitals, they actually take
part in working with patients who
have volunteered to participate, he
adds. Some remain to work through
the summer to gain even more ex
perience.
“The students are grateful for the
experience,” says Davis. “By the
time the second year of their pro
gram here on the main campus is up,
they are well-oriented toward relat
ing with patients.”
One student, Pam Perry of Fort
Worth, thinks the overall program
is, in her words, “just great.” Perry is
working this summer with a local
gynecologist.
“You can have books, books, book
all the time, but this helps you know
what medicine is all about.”
While here, they young doctors-
to-be have no lack of patients to see,
thanks to Brazos Valley physicians
who contribute time and knowledge
to the medical program.
The doctors come into the class
room during the students’ first year
and help with practical instruction,
overseeing the students as they prac
tice examining each other.
The physicians also provide stu
dents with names of willing patients,
and the students take medical his
tories from the patients. In this way,
they learn early on the proper way of
working up a case history and the
importance of patient-doctor rap
port, adds Davis.
“One student even brought a pa
tient some flowers to the hosptial as a
Unit.

WICHITA, Kan. — A jogger ac
cused by an irate motorist of nearly
causing a car accident Wednesday
pulled a gun and shot the driver who
was threatening him with a baseball
bat, police said.
The jogger, who was not identified
pending possible filing of charges,
was held by police for further ques
tioning. The driver of the car under
went surgery at Wesley Medical
Center and was in undetermined
condition.
Det. Howard Rose said the 18-
year-old motorist had apparently
thought the jogger was at fault in
nearly causing a 6:30 a. m. traffic ac
cident involving his vehicle and a
second car.
The other driver left the scene,
but the teen-ager continued to argue
with the jogger, Rose said. After the
jogger headed home, the driver fol
lowed in his car, officer said.
