Medical students examine
hard courses, dead bodies
By Adrienne Dunbar
Reporter
mSmt 1 he transition from an under
graduate university to a medical
school is a drastic and difficult one.
Texas A&M Medical School students
lived inikl 0111151 quickly adjust from from tak
ing 12, 15 or 18 credit hours a se
mester to taking the equivalent of 18
ar more hours in a quarter system.
“We like to call it the ‘blitzkreig
ystem’,” says Mike Clark, a second-
U.S. tr(®y ear medical student. “You are over-
tationed* whelmed the first quarter. They just
give you more and more and more
o know.”
One professor in the department
seems to disagree.
Tom Champney, a neuroendocri-
nologist and assistant professor of
anatomy, describes a first-year medi-
o f 0 uri cal student’s curriculum. “They will
take two anatomy classes, gross and
micro, and a medical humanity,”
Champney says. “That’s a relatively
asy quarter.”
Microanatomy, called medical his
tology, studies the basic cells and
how they function. Gross anatomy is
what one might guess, the study of
the human body in its entirety.
“The first day of class you go for a
few hours of lecture and then they
put you in front of the body,” Dave
Schneider, a second-year medical
“The first day of class you
go for a few hours of lec
ture and then they put
you in front of the body.
The head, hands and feet
are all covered because a
lot of people freak out
when they see a body. ”
— Dave Schneider, medi
cal student
student says. “The head, hands and
feet are all covered because a lot of
people freak out when they see a
body. It helps the shock.”
Champney says the bodies don’t
shock people, the work does.
“Gross (anatomy) is fairly easy for
med school,” Champney says.
“There is a one-hour lecture four
days a week, and four or five hours
of lab every day. Micro is usually two
hours a week, and a humanity is
usually one hour. All the rest is free
time, most use it to study.”
The undergraduate attitude is
hard to shake, he says.
“Students ask me ‘What do I need
to know for the exam?’ and I try to
stress that they need to know every
thing,” Champney says. “Med school
is not the same pace and volume as
other schools, it’s a lot more. Some
just get blown away.”
Because students are training for
a profession, they must be precise.
“We don’t want generalities,” he
says. “A lot of information comes at
them (students) full-barrel. They
have very little time to assimilate, yet
they must take in as much as possi
ble.”
Although anatomy is the first class
facing a medical student, it is the
most important.
“This is the instrument they will
be working with,” Champney says.
“They need to know it well.”
Flag flies despite neighbor's complaints
a flagpole business he owns in Ir
COLLEYVILLE (AP) — Steve
|Symonds wants to fly his flag high
tnd he’s leading a drive to seek a
Ireferendum election against flag-
jpole height restrictions set last week
|by the City Council.
Symonds, who has been at the
It enter of the flagpole controversy,
|says he thinks the people should de
ride the height limit.
Some skeptics contend that Sy-
Iraonds is using the flap to advertise
vmg.
“I think that all he wants is the
publicity,” said Bedford Mayor L.
Don Dodson. Symonds denies the
allegation.
“I’m in the flagpole business, but
that’s not why it’s up there,” Sy
monds told the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram in an earlier interview.
“It’s something we enjoy. I don’t
sell flagpoles from my home.”
The council Tuesday approved
an emergency ordinance, aimed at
Symonds, requiring a building per
mit for any flagpole taller than 35
feet.
Half of Symonds backyard is in
Bedford and the other half in Col-
leyville.
In February, neighbors in both
cities complained of the flapping
noise made by Symond’s 20-by-38
foot flag and the spotlight he kept
trained on it.
