Context.— In the early 1900s, it was common practice to retain, prepare, and display instructive pathologic specimens to teach pathology to medical trainees and practitioners; these collections were called medical museums. Maude Abbott, MD, established her reputation by developing expertise in all aspects of medical museum work. She was a founder of the International Association of Medical Museums (later renamed the International Academy of Pathology) and became an internationally renowned expert on congenital heart disease. Her involvement in the Canadian Medical War Museum (CMWM) is less well known. Objective.— To explore Abbott's role in the development of the CMWM during and after World War I and to trace its history. Design.— Available primary and secondary historical sources were reviewed. Results.— Instructive pathologic specimens derived from Canadian soldiers dying during World War I were shipped to the Royal College of Surgeons in London, which served as a clearinghouse for museum specimens from Dominion forces. The Canadian specimens were repatriated to Canada, prepared by Abbott, and displayed at several medical meetings. Abbott, because she was a woman, could not enlist and so she reported to a series of enlisted physicians with no expertise in museology. Plans for a permanent CMWM building in Ottawa eventually failed and Abbott maintained the collection at McGill (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) until her death in 1940. We trace the CMWM after her death. Conclusions.— Sadly, after Abbott had meticulously prepared these precious teaching specimens so that their previous owners' ultimate sacrifice would continue to help their military brethren, the relics were bureaucratically lost.

The role of learning as a tool for enhancing human efficiency and survival is examined. The advantages of using simulations as a means of improving learning efficiency is discussed. Thirty important concepts based on research findings are presented for individuals interested in promoting learning efficiency. Based on these concepts simulations were constructed and tested at eight national and regional medical meetings.** Reactions were obtained from 846 physicians and other health professionals. This research suggests that it is possible for training institutions to significantly improve learning efficiency.

All but one of the words and phrases included in the medical history below were either heard at medical meetings or seen in recent medical journals. I leave it to the reader to judge whether my 1984 version enriches or debases our language. My only contribution was the neologism homized. Ms. A. Z., age 24, S.S. #987-65-4321, a randomized, computerized investigatee of a federally-funded on-going study of the parameters of behavior modification on biofeedback mechanisms in pregnancy, was ante-nated at an H.M.O. managed entirely by lay community workers. She had evolutionized from a homebody to a somebody in 1975 at age 18. Automated multiphasic health maintenance checkup detected the presence of paroxysmal hypertension for which she was hospitalized in the twentieth week of pregnancy. She was radiographed, I.V.P.'d, and a right suprarenal mass was outlined. The patient was then cardiac catheterized, catecholaminized, laparotomized, and partially adrenalectomized on the right. Recovery was maximized and optimized by an automated programmed computer print-out protocol of therapy. Twenty weeks later, patient delivered a healthy 3000 gr. newborn person; in-depth health-oriented physical evaluation on both mother and infant was performed by specially trained nonprofessional testing personnel. Two days later, patient and newborn person were homized after being P.S.R.O.'d and H.M.O.'d to a nontraditional Health Depot for follow-up.

AbstractThe corona virus has spread worldwide since it first appeared in China and represents a pandemic of unprecedented magnitude. The pandemic has not only social and economic effects, but even more impressive effects on the health system. If the virus spreads uncontrollably and rapidly, there is a risk of an unpredictable increase of patients with COVID-19 disease requiring hospital treatment. The capacities of a hospital can quickly reach the limit and consequently patients can no longer be adequately treated. Therefore, in the acute phase of the pandemic, it is necessary to release all hospital resources for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Strict hygiene regulations must also be observed in order to prevent the virus from spreading unexpectedly in the hospital in order to protect patients and hospital staff. Elective operations and outpatient clinics must be cancelled in the acute phase. Special hygiene measures must be observed for urgent and unpostponable operations. These relate to the admission of the patients, the accommodation in the ward and the operative care in the operating room. In the post-acute phase, a normal surgical program can be resumed step by step. In this phase, however, clear hygiene regulations must also be observed. Regular medical meetings taking into account the current pandemic situation and the occurrence of new infections must be carried out in the hospital and the occupancy of the ward and operating room adjusted accordingly. To what extent the situation for the treatment of patients in orthopedics and trauma surgery will normalize cannot be predicted at the present time.
