Hinckley will be held as a patient at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, in a 225-patient pavilion reserved for the criminally insane, until the court decides that he is no longer a danger to society or himself. In a reversal of roles, Hinckley's attorneys could find themselves arguing that their client is sane to get him released. But his lawyers and parents say they do not plan to make such an argument yet, at least not at the hearing scheduled by Parker on Aug. 7. For the time being, and perhaps for years to come, Hinckley will...
...conditioning, she says, begins with the total depletion of the residents' physical strength. "Medicine," she charges, "is the only area that doesn't recognize the need for sleep." Her book recounts the horrors of 36-hour shifts, of 30 patient interviews and examinations crammed into two hours, of fatigue so profound that during patient examinations, "I could actually shut my eyes for brief moments while I listened to the patient's heart. . . napping between beats...

...Gross wished him dead, but they paid off. The head of Dr. Gross, thought and tension made flesh, is one of the supreme 19th century portraits, and the drama of contrast between the dense masses of black suits and gloomy tiers of students, and the swooning white of the patient's thigh surrounded by anxious straining hands and white cloth, reaches its apex in the fresh blood on Gross's hand and the retracted lips of the wound. Such imagery alarmed Philadelphian taste a century ago; The Agnew Clinic was rejected from the Pennsylvania Academy's exhibition...
