Visiting the overcrowded wards of Kansas City General Hospital, the 36 students timidly felt a swollen abdomen, saw a diabetic amputee, and stood in stunned silence around the bed of a patient who died as they were on their way to his room. The school's provost, Dr. E. Grey Dimond, told the students: "It will be Christmas before you find your composure again...
