Pos¬ session of "personality" connotes a knowledge and under¬ standing of the reactions of the individual as determining his behavior. Each individual, because he is an individual, is different from everyone else; each has to be handled for himself alone. As Dr. Meyer said, treat the patient, not the disease. The individual differs in different periods of his life in his reactions ; certain accidents and environ¬ ments make him different ; if we study we can understand and it will help us to handle the patient.Dr. Andrew L. Skoog, Kansas City, Mo. : I liked very much the statement Dr. Meyer made regarding common sense. He has gone over the field of preparation of the medical student, before his course of study, in psychology or mor¬ bid psychology, and the more or less confusion which exists in his mind. I think when we are teaching students either neurology or psychiatry, we should constantly bear in mind common sense.We "are dealing with a complicated subject, perhaps complicated because of the preparation of the stu¬ dent when he appears before us. Therefore, to reiterate,
tively difficult to digest in health as well. All through our literature we see more and more evidence of the fact that fat is no longer considered so easily digested and assimilated as was formerly thought. The following case is instructive in this connection: AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
