N2  - A letter of introduction and an expression of interest from my professor of surgery at the University of Maryland, Dr. Louis McLain Tiffiny, to Dr. Osler in August 1902 opened the way for my entrance into the courses given by Professors Welch and Osler for the scholastic year 1902 and 1903 at the Johns Hopkins Medical School.A part of Osler's course was a general clinic which was given weekly in the large surgical amphitheater. Every seat was usually occupied by junior and senior students and members of the resident staff. Osler sat in a chair near an examining table in the pit of the amphitheater. The patients were brought in and the diagnosis and treatment of their cases discussed.At one of the clinics a patient was brought in on a stretcher. The patient was completely covered with a sheet. The only clinical feature was a noticeably protuberant abdomen.
