“Oh my, it was so much fun! The room was just beautiful, and all the items presented in such an appealing manner. I liked the explanations for each item. More info made you want to buy. I think this party will get bigger every year, because not only does one support a good cause but it is FUN. Best party of the year!” Emails came flooding in full of enthusiasm for the 2014 Holiday Auction attended by 300 guests filled with holiday cheer and bidding fever. Not only did you all jump on your BidPals like old pros, most of you took to your smartphones to bid which kept you in the bidding wars even if you had to go home early or tried your luck at the Live Auction. The University Center Club was the perfect venue for the event again. Back by popular demand were the martini glasses of lobster mac ‘n cheese, and the NY Cheesecake martini buffet and dessert flambé stations. The Antipasto Bar was a huge hit this year! The room was beautifully decorated by the talented Alliance Auction team who also brought some of their own decorations to set the mood this year. The McCully family provided greenery for the event from the property of Bob
Auctioneers, Dr. Scott Sellinger and Dr. John Mahoney.

McCully. McCully greenery kept sweet Jean McCully’s presence close to our hearts. The success of the event is possible due to the strong support of our Sponsors, Donors, and Bidders. For the 14th straight year, Tallahassee State Bank generously provided $5,000 as our Title Sponsor. The FSU College of Medicine was a Presenting Sponsor at $2,500 for the third year in a row. Southeastern Center for Infectious Diseases was also a valuable Presenting Sponsor. In all, 49 Corporate Sponsors provided the financial support we needed to cover the costs of hosting the event. Sponsorships enable the funds from the Live and Silent Auctions to go directly to Capital Medical Society Foundation for We Care Network and FSU College of Medicine Scholarships. We are deeply grateful to all of the people, local businesses, and organizations who generously donated to the Auction. More than 140 items were included in the Silent and Live Auctions. We had wonderful volunteer support in addition to the Alliance Auction Committee and Auction Steering Committee. This year we had twelve medical students helping you get

REFLECTIONS FROM THE EDITOR
YET ANOTHER: NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION By Charles Moore, M.D.
Okay…Okay…I beg your pardon...I beg your pardon… forgive me…forgive me. I am the mere Editor of Cap Scan, and so have no idea what I am talking about. I simply have to write something, filling otherwise blank pages, or be fired. And if I am fired, someone else will have to do this, which (let me thus beguile you…) is really not so hard given the marvelous help and advice of our Supreme leader, Pam Wilson, and Shannon Boyle, Cap Scan’s Chief Factotum, whom I generally think of as the beautiful (have you ever read the novel by H. Rider Haggard, SHE, who as you shortly learn by about page 75 of the novel is “She who must be obeyed.”) For example, I thought I had yet a week to scribble something for this issue, and she wrote me only yesterday to say the deadline was what is now tomorrow. Obediently, I am dutifully attempting to comply, thinking, by the way, that it will be good practice as I resolve next year to be even more compliant with my wife, Lynn. The secondary gain, naturally, is the more “compliance” the less I have to think for myself. Who, among my persuasion and years, would not be happy to obey such ladies in all things anyway, and as well bring the latter (Shannon lives too far away, and I don’t know how I would deal with her husband) cappuccino and a coddled egg every morning. That sort of thing. But, as I have already said, and having begged your pardon quite enough, this that you read is Cap Scan’s first issue of the New Year. It is time, yet again, for Resolutions impossible to keep. And so, just to hammer fully home the disclaimer, I beg your pardon yet again that I should presume to suggest a resolution for the entire Medical Society…and why not our entire profession, since I think it a bullet worth biting…as we sally forth into the new year. It seems to me, after all, in smack-on conformity with our Society’s pledge that we exist for “promoting the practice of medicine for the ultimate benefit of the patient.”
10 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION
My only trouble with my Resolution is that I cannot figure how it can be implemented; which is why I write of this, in the hope that our ingenious readership may come up with some means, some solution. But first, allow me to provide a background to these resolutionary musings. Nothing, except maybe the universe, springs out of a void, but more generally from our own experience. And mine, just within the past month, has very interestingly involved at least four examples within which I modestly suffered while attempting to share the suffering, which may be not too strong a word, of four individuals, each of whom I know very well as family or very close friends. I could even, using the usual hyper-inflated mediamethods describe the details in some excruciating manner designed to cause you to burst into tears, rend the air and, if you were not an MD familiar with the mechanisms, provide yet some further issue for disparagement of our profession. I will spare you all that. Suffice it that each of these cases involved nothing more than the anxiety that accompanied the sometimes very long, up to almost a month, period before each of these individuals was made aware of the results of some laboratory test or imaging study. One that particularly touched me related to a very much loved cousin of my wife’s, fearful of recurrent cancer. She spent two very fretful weeks awaiting the results of her PET scan which, whatever they were, then required a further week and more before she could see her oncologist who would discuss it with her. And yes, it was positive with a new round of chemotherapy in the offing. Much less difficult but still to the point was our own daughter’s experience. She spent four weeks awaiting the results of a CT scan of her new baby’s head, which is a little big, but at least hopefully with mere brains instead of anything else. She finally called her physician’s office, ultimately got through...another issue…only to learn the results had never been received.
REFLECTIONS FROM THE EDITOR
Never mind the other two I am thinking of...you get the point; know it full well; wonder yourself, I would guess, how these processes could be expedited so that our patients do not have to spend such lengths of time suffering in their own limbo of “worst fears.” Of course, I see even on my own physician’s form allowing him to treat me that there is fine print saying something to the effect that if the results of testing are negative you will not hear from his office directly to that effect. I want to say “why not?” I know…I know…we are all busy. There is simply no time to pick up the phone, or send a card or note (I suppose necessarily in an envelope so the wrath of OSHA not descend) saying “We are so delighted that your blood studies/imaging studies/ EKG/or whatever came back negative. It was good to see you the other day. Carry on! Stay healthy! And every now and then eat a vegetable.” Something like that, suitable to your own dignity. Otherwise the waiting adds its own burden to what is after all a burdensome illness no one would wish upon themselves. We tend to think and imagine the worst. So how happy it would be to actually hear promptly if not right away that a result was good. We are often enough the bearers of bad news, and here is a delightful opportunity to bring good. Our patients have no idea how long they are supposed to be left in anxious tenterhooks before finally concluding that, after a month or so, “Maybe my results were good, and that’s why they haven’t been in touch…,” but still at the back of the mind not knowing. So I have given some thought to how this issue should be resolved. How an office could find some sufficient means to inform patients of their testing results in a timely manner. The best I can come up with is a phone call by an appropriate person in the office who could, after you the M.D. have signed off on the lab or imaging test, be authorized to say either a.) “Everything was just fine,” or
b.) “everything is just fine, but the Doctor would like to talk to you about a slight elevation in your this or that…and can you come in day after tomorrow,” or c.) “there are some findings that the Doctor wants to sit down and talk with you about. Can you come in tomorrow?” Don’t get me wrong. We all do the best we can, and at that in the highest tradition of our society’s goal to promote the practice of medicine for the ultimate benefit of the patient. But our processes and procedural means begin almost to approximate the agonizingly slow due process of The Law, God forbid. How can we do better? RESOLVED: That this New Year we will do better. Just don’t ask me how. And don’t ask me, either, if I stick to my own New Year’s Resolution (carefully phrased so that I cannot be held to it, even by myself) “to be a better person, somehow or other, if only barely…”. As for Cap Scan, be it RESOLVED for this New Year: that will have a monthly essay by some distinguished member of our medical community on “why they went into the specialty they did.” And with whom to begin? Why who else, who better, than John Mahoney, of course, whom you will read in this issue, or maybe the next if he did not, in such a short time, get around to being obedient to SHE who must be…etc. Anyway, it’s a RESOLUTION. And Happy New Year to you, too. CMS

VIEWPOINT
Editor's Note: If one of the most interesting curiosities that exist in the world is “why we are where we are," Cap Scan, as noted elsewhere in this issue, is determined to hope that in each of this coming year's issues we might discover why at least some of us are wherever. When and why did we choose to become physicians? And by what means, for what reason, did we choose the specialty we now practice? Some of you can look forward to hearing from me, begging your answers to this interesting question, and thanking Dr. Mahoney for his forthright, if sockless, contribution.
What Do I Want To Be After Failing Physical Diagnosis? By John Mahoney, M.D.
I must admit that I never really thought about an occupation until my third year of college at Gainesville. It was 1968 and well, it was Gainesville and the War; my mind tended to be a tad purposefully cloudy and indecisive. My roommate Dan Davis was absolutely no help at all. I seemed to gravitate towards the Sciences mainly because of psychology and sociology. German literature, anthropology and the humanities just put me quickly to sleep. After Zoology, I made a decision that I would apply for a postgraduate position in Oceanography at a well-known California institute. And then I learned about the mechanics of the Vietnam War, the draft, the Berry plan, educational deferrals for the draft and my no. 168 in the draft lottery. I know it sounds just awful, but I made an immediate decision that Medicine was the future for me. There were no Doctors in my family except my brother who had recently entered Medical school. I hadn’t a clue what Doctors really did other than stick needles into your buttock and check you for hernias. But more science classes and college verses leeches, rice patties and threats to my body’s well-being sealed the deal. I prepared for all the pre-med courses with my usual gusto. Having maniacal study-dog roommates like Dan Davis didn’t hurt my preparations. The only undergraduate course I fondly remember was a zoological Histology elective course. Histology was something my brain immediately recognized as fun, interesting and challenging: visual stimulation, pattern recognition and all in living color. Entering UF med school in 1970 was a rude awakening. In my heart, I know that I could never have been a PIMS student at FSU. Just a tad too immature and not a particularly good confabulator. If asked if I wanted a career 12

in primary care, I would have told admissions faculty some curt abrasive truth naively missing the whole gestalt of the screening process. Somehow I got into UF (which would be a certain impossibility today). The only freshman courses in which I excelled in were Gross Anatomy and Pathology. My absolutely worse course was Physical Diagnosis. My course director was a sinister, cold ex-military family practitioner who demanded that I must wear socks. It was 1970 for goodness sakes. I hadn’t worn socks for 5 years. I unfortunately also became disillusioned and depressed with this course because of my inability to hear S3 and S4 heart sounds. Was this merely a genetic curse of cerumen exuberance? Davis claimed that he heard every pulmonary, bowel and heart sound whether the stethoscope was in his ears or loosely around his neck. That boob instructor flunked me in Physical Diagnosis. I had worn my favorite multicolored mismatched socks (I got married in them!); apparently this was an affront to his military upbringing. Like many med students, I was prepared to enter into almost every specialty following these clinical rotations except Psychiatry. A three month mental health rotation at the Gainesville VAH made me a caricature of Pavlov’s dogs. I was determined to conquer my cardiac auscultation deficiencies so I took a nine-month rotation on Internal Medicine and Cardiology at the VAH. What a mistake. I really liked the patients, but the medical faculty and residents were …………..hemorrhoids, thrombosed I believe. After a 45-day internship tour of hospitals from Florida to Utah looking for a spot in Internal Medicine, I had an awakening in a KOA camp tent in Colorado Springs with my wife, a crying 3-month old son and a bottle of cheap Chianti wine. Life is short, do what makes you happy. Don’t worry, be happy. To hell with heart sounds. Ear wax can be much more entertaining when properly molded into an artistic sculpture on your favorite paperclip. I cancelled all of my remaining internship interviews. I called my mentor friend in Pathology who had given me a three-month rotation in Surgical and Autopsy pathology. He offered me a residency position out of the clinical match. I have never looked back. But……, I still have this unexplainable urge to wear ties and black socks. I’m sure my psychiatrist, Dr. Munasifi will help me conquer my apparent need to appease that long dead, militaristic diagnostician boob. Retirement without socks looks exciting. CMS
