JANUARY EDITION, VOLUME 2016, NO. 1
“DO I HEAR $500?” By Pam Wilson, CMS Executive Director Emails came flooding in on Friday full of enthusiasm for the 2015 Holiday Auction attended by 270 guests filled with holiday cheer and bidding fever. Not only did most of you jump on your smartphones like old pros to bid, but many of you mastered the art of shutting out your opponents in the final minutes of the Silent Auction to win some fantastic items for a great cause. Auctioneers Extraordinaire, Drs. Scott Sellinger and John Mahoney kept the Live Auction competitive and entertaining. With a few hotly contested items, like the “Dinner at the Forsthoefel’s,” that sold for $3,500, “Parking at TMH,” that sold for $3,300, and “Dinner at Lucy Ho’s,” that sold for $2,200, they had their auctioning skills ramped up!
Supporting Sponsor, Tallahassee Primary Care Associates: Dr. Hugh VanLandingham (far left) and Dr. Alfredo Paredes (third from right) with Title Sponsor, Tallahassee State Bank: (l-r) Bill Moore, Al Basford, Tina Darnell, Matt Brown, and Patricia Griffin.
The success of the event is possible due to the strong support of our sponsors, donors, and bidders. $49,340 in sponsorships were provided this year from 53 sponsors. Sponsorships enable the funds from the Live and Silent Auctions to go directly to Capital Medical Society Foundation to support its mission and initiatives that include We Care Network and FSU College of Medicine
FSU College of Medicine Student Volunteers: (front row, l-r) Amber Thomas, Rachel Pelt, Ilisa Lee, Heather Highsmith, Lindsay Gardner, Angela Bradford, Joshua Burns, and (back row, l-r) Samuel Muniz, Adam Danley, Sarah Hardy, and Brett Schubert.
Scholarships. For the 15th 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 fourth year in a row. Florida Cancer Specialists and Florida Medical Association were also valuable Presenting Sponsors this year. We are deeply grateful to all of the individuals, local businesses, and medical practices who generously donated to the Auction. More than 144 items Auctioneers, Dr. Scott Sellinger and were included Dr. John Mahoney look for the next in the Silent and bid during the Live Auction.

a travel agency. A few of your colleagues will be making travel plans to Banff and New York. We had wonderful volunteer support from the Alliance Auction Committee and Auction Steering Committee. We thank our Steering and CMS Alliance Auction Committees for their help and insight in planning, organizing, and decorating for this spectacular holiday party and auction. We could not host this event without the support of the CMS Alliance in securing auction items and decorating the festive venue. A special thanks to Zan Batchelor who shares boxes of ornaments to create the holiday spirit. The McCully family once again provided greenery for the event from the property of Bob McCully. Dr. McCully even showed up to help Shannon and CMS Alliance members gather the greens! This year we had eleven medical students helping you get registered on BidPal, showcase Live Auction items to potential bidders, help gather your items at the end of the event, and assist CMS staff in post event cleanup. They included seven 2015 CMSF Scholarship recipients and Auction Steering Committee Scott Sellinger, M.D., Chair Shannon Boyle Jana Bures-Forsthoefel, M.D. Rosalie Carlin Tracey Hellgren, M.D. David Jones, M.D. John Mahoney, M.D. David Miles, M.D. Tony Weaver, M.D. Barbara Williams, M.D. Pam Wilson Alliance Auction Committee Zan Batchelor Valerie Draper Tami Frankland Cynara Miller Amy Pagano Debra Placilla Gina Tran Missy Whiddon Carol Winchester Decorating Committee Zan Batchelor Valerie Draper Cay Ford Rita Kaelin Cynara Miller Amy Pagano Kathleen Smith Gillian Stewart Missy Whiddon
four medical students from the FSUCOM Tallahassee Regional Campus for 3rd and 4th year students. They enjoyed the opportunity to “give back” and to spend some time with the local physician community. “Gives us something to look forward to when we become physicians,” said one medical student. The University Center Club continues to be the perfect venue for this event. 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! We added a new option this year. Betsy Barfield, event photographer, was also available to take holiday photos for guests. We are thankful to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and bidders. And, a very personal thank you from me to Shannon and Rosalie who were the glue who made the whole thing come together and make it all seem effortless. Mark your calendars for next year’s CMS Holiday Party and Auction on December 1, 2016! CMS

CAP SCAN EDITOR
FROM MIMEOGRAPH TO GRAPHIC DESIGN Dr. Charles Moore Retires as Editor of Cap Scan Dr. Charles Moore announced his retirement as Editor of Cap Scan in its December issue. Capital Medical Society has enjoyed the essays on life and medicine of Dr. Charles Moore for many years. Prior to accepting the position of Editor, he chaired the Publications Committee. His first article as Editor, in April, 1985, included words of tribute to his predecessor, Dr. Jim Conn. “It was with pleasure that I read the last editorial by Jim Conn, our commentator extraordinaire upon this worldly scene. Who amongst us considers and expresses such thoughtfulness the evolving meaning of medical practice, and with such care for its humanitarian origins.” And so, we feel the same about the retirement of Dr. Moore who has served as a dedicated Editor for 30 years. One of his first orders of business was to improve the format of the newsletter and to request for the CMS membership to approve display advertising. Dr. Moore is not only a creative writer, he has been a visionary in moving the publication forward. He has written, encouraged others to write, and captured a side of the practice of medicine that is often missed. 12
CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION
Capital Medical Society has appointed Dr. Frank Skilling as Interim Editor of Cap Scan. The role of Editor will be defined as the search for Editor begins. To serve as Editor is a partnership with your colleagues and CMS staff to promote the written expression of those things that matter to you as physicians. If you would like to discuss the role of editor, please contact Shannon Boyle at sboyle@capmed.org or contact Dr. Skilling. The legacy of our illustrious editors will continue. CMS

CALL FOR AWARD NOMINATIONS
CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD AND THE OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD The Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Alliance will host our fifteenth annual Celebration Awards Dinner on March 24th at the FSU University Center Club, in honor of Doctors’ Day. At the event, we will be awarding the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award, a prestigious award initiated by Capital Health Plan, and the Al McCully, M.D., Outstanding Physician 2015 Recipient of the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Award. Humanitarian Award.
The criteria for the awards differ. The criteria for the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award are predicated on the values that came to be associated with the late Dr. I.B. Harrison: treating all patients with respect and dignity. Dr. Harrison was known as the voice for the ethical, compassionate practice of medicine. He is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.
The Outstanding Physician Award honors a physician who has demonstrated distinguished leadership in organized medicine, community volunteerism, political and governmental activities, clinical excellence, and educational activities; particularly with medical students. We are seeking nominations from the CMS membership as both of these awards are awarded to physicians by their peers. Included in this issue of Cap Scan (pages 14 and 15) are the nomination forms. Please give thoughtful consideration to nominating a physician for each award. Please mail or fax your completed nomination forms to the Capital Medical Society. All nominations are held in the strictest of confidence. The deadline for nominations is January 22nd.
Armand Cognetta, M.D., 2015 Recipient of the Outstanding Physician Award.

FSU COM STUDENT PATHOGRAPHY
FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE – STUDENT PATHOGRAPHY (Student essay on one of their patients from their rotation. All patient names are fictitious.)
John Doe is a 90 year old white male with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and prostate cancer. I started seeing John Doe for his routine follow up appointments with his primary care physician. These visits were just to keep track of his labs and get updated information about his visits from his urologist and oncologist. Mainly, the visits served to compile updated healthcare information from all his doctors and have one place to find such information. During these visits, he was very knowledgeable about his healthcare. He carried around a notebook that had detailed information about his labs, medications, and notes from all his doctors. His wife also accompanied him, so she could fill in any gaps, as well. Because he was so knowledgeable about his care, I felt like these visits were mainly social visits. We often just talked. We’d talk about everything and anything. John Doe was a very interesting man, and he definitely lived life to the fullest. He was born in a small town in Southern Georgia, and spent most of his youth here. He worked many odd jobs as a teenager. He’d help out on the farm, tending to the family’s live stock. He began to lecture me about how every morning he would have to get up at the crack of dawn to haul hay and water. When he spoke, he did not really seem to mind all the manual labor. He seemed to love talking about his cows. He told me stories about how he would secretly feed his favorite cow Betsy sugar cubes. He enlightened me about how curious cows really are. He told me if I ever happen to stumble upon a cow field, I need to jump the fence and hoot and holler to get the cows attention. Then, I need to lay in the grass and all the cows will encircle me and just stare at me. I started to laugh, because this just sounded ridiculous. 16
Even though he has a busy farm life, he never let his academics suffer. He always received good marks and he had every intention to go to college. However, that plan would have to be delayed and he decided to courageously serve his country in WWII. I asked him what branch of the military he joined and he replied, “The airforce.” I preceded to ask him why and he nonchalantly replied, “I had 20/20 vision and I always wanted to learn how to fly planes.” It was a short and simple answer that made a lot of sense, but I could not help but chuckle a little bit. Well, he did just that. He enlisted and learned to fly. He served as a fighter pilot overseas and shot down numerous enemy aircrafts. When the war came to an end, he was offered to a position to stay on and he would have been given the title of officer, even though he had not graduated from college. However, he was homesick and wanted to go back home. Upon arriving back in Georgia safe and sound, he rejoiced with his family and cows. After working the farm for a few years, he decided he wanted to go to college. Since he could attend on the GI Bill, he really did not see any reason not to go. So, he got his application together, and he was enrolled in the first co-ed class at Florida State University. As a student at Florida State University, he became fascinated with history. He majored in political science and history. While sitting in his ancient Greek mythology class of his senior year, a beautiful woman, Jane Doe, sat right next to him. She smelled of lilacs and wore her long, blonde locks in a ponytail. It was love at first site, and Greek mythology soon became his favorite class. He never enjoyed studying in groups, but he would organize study groups just so he could spend time with her. By the end of the semester, he finally mustered up enough courage to ask her out on a date. By the end of the year, they were engaged. Because Jane was a few years younger than John, John went off to law school while Jane finished college. John and Jane

were married by the end of his second year in law school. A few years into their marriage, they started a family. John went to work, and Jane stayed at home with the kids. Life was harmonious, and he loved watching his children mature and growing old with his wife. Unfortunately, aging is not for sissies. John Doe was in his early eighties when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Of course, it was in its early stages, and him and his wife kept a watchful eye on things. Hence, the frequent doctor visits and detailed health notebooks. Eventually, he underwent a TURP and received a suprapubic catheter. Everything seemed neutral for many years, until one day John Doe started having fevers, abdominal pain, and syncope. Jane Doe was extremely worried and rushed him to the hospital. After receiving a CT scan, it was determined that he numerous pelvic abscesses. No one really knew why this was happening. However, after that one time, this started to become a frequent problem. Each time he would be diagnosed with this abscess, he would be hospitalized, undergo CT guided drain placement, and received IV antibiotics. As a result of the antibiotics and infection, he would have spells of delirium. His wife was very concerned, but things would always seem to clear up. He would get better, and then schedule a follow up visit with his primary care physician where I would have the pleasure of talking to him. While I was on my surgery rotation, my attending and I were consulted. 90 year old man with a history of prostate cancer presents with pelvic abscesses. To my surprise, I walk into the room and find John Doe. He is lying in bed, pale as the bed sheet. Multiple JP drains are coming out of his abdomen. Jane Doe is sitting by his bedside holding his hand. I could hardly recognize him. If I had not heard it from the horse’s mouth, I would not have believed his remarkable story. - Hanna Lee
