Recently I had a memorable encounter with the Harvard Dental Clinic and think the quality of service available there under the capable hands of Doctor Faciano should be brought to the attention of Harvard students. Summer emergency care at the clinic is provided from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. On Thursday, July 27, I walked into the clinic at 3:30 p.m. with a severe toothache. The doctor was still there but would not even look at my tooth. The next afternoon I arrived at 1:00 p.m., the dentist at 1:15. The next ten minutes he spent...
...drama began early in the week when Eagleton was forced to reveal that on three occasions, in 1960, 1964 and 1966, he had been hospitalized in St. Louis or at the Mayo Clinic for nervous exhaustion. When the McGovern camp learned that the Knight newspapers were ready to break a story on Eagleton's medical history (see THE PRESS), McGovern and his running mate decided to break the news themselves at a press conference in Sylvan Lake, S.

...extremely careful all along to disguise the facts. When Eagleton was first hospitalized for shock treatments in 1960, his father gave out the story that Tom was suffering from gastric disorders and a virus.

In 1966, when he returned to Mayo for shock treatments, his law office issued a statement that he was at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for gastric tests. Eagleton admitted last week that the story was "a ploy, because when you need rest you need rest from the press." Eagleton...
Fast. In medical circles, both St. Louis' Barnes Hospital and Minnesota's Mayo Clinic have a reputation for liberal use of shock therapy; thus the fact that Eagleton was treated by shock at those institutions does not necessarily indicate that his depression was severe. Shock is often preferred by politicians and others in the public eye because it is faster than psychiatric counseling (also cheaper: about $55 a treatment). The American Psychiatric Association claims that electroconvulsive therapy is effective in at least 90% of the depression cases in which it is carefully used, "sometimes in a matter...
...echelon employees whose companies considered them valuable enough, in balance-sheet terms, to justify annual expenditures of $200 each or more for checkups. These screenings were performed by such organizations as New York City's Executive Health Examiners, serving the top brass of 400 companies, or the Greenbrier Clinic at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., and could take several days...
