THE OATH OF
If^ HIPPOCRATE'
1 swear by Apollo, the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health and
All-Heal, and by God and by whatever 1 hold most sacred, that, ac-cording
to my ability and judgment, 1 will keep this Oath and this
stipulation—I will look upon those who shall have taught me this Art
even as one of my parents, 1 will share my substance with them, and
I will supply their necessities if they be in need. I ^Aill regard their
offspring in the same footing as my own brethren, and I will teach
them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or covenant.
I will impart a knowledge of the Art by precept, by lecture and by
every mode of teaching not only to my own children but to the chil-dren
of those who have taught me, and to disciples bound by cov-enant
and oath, according to the Law of Medicine, but to none other.
The regimen I adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients accord-ing
to my ability and judgment and 1 will abstain from whatever is
deleterious and mischievous. 1 will seek to inform my patients fully
about their illness and prognosis, and \\ill always remember that the
final decision regarding their own life rests with the patient. 1 will re-gard
my patients always as fellow human beings and will do everything
possible to preserve their dignity. With purity and with holiness 1 will
pass my life and practice my Art. Whatsoe\ er things I sec or hear con-cerning
the life of men in my attendance, on the sick or e\cn apart
therefrom, which tmght not to be noised abroad, I \\iil keep silence
thereon, counting such things to be sacred secrets. While 1 continue
to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to mc to en^
and the practice oi the Art, respected by all men, in all times. But
should 1 trespass and violate this Oath, ma> the reverse be my lot.
Administration. »

Dr. Jeffrey Wiese
"Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, tal-ented
and fabulous? Actually, who are you not
to be? You are the child of God. Your playing
small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that others won't
feel insecure around you. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within
us. It's not just in some of us; it's in every-one.
And as we let our own light shine,
wc unconsciously give other people permis-sion
to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."
-Nebon Marulcla, 1994 Inaugural Speech
Your presence liberated us over the years and
it continues to do so. Thank you.
--Gourtesy of Nick Pejic
"Dr. Wiese is a source of inspiration for
me every day in the wards. When I
get tired or grouchy, I always think how
much Dr. Wiese gives of himself and
his time tt) both us and the patients.
A problem that 1 frequently face with
patients is that 1 start to feel resentful of
them when they are noncompliant with
I heir physicians' plans to help them. Dr.
Wiese taught me an alternate way of
thinking about that - we are just "catch-ers
in the rye." It is not for us to accept
or judge patients' actions. We just help
them as we know how and they must
Jo the rest."
--Gouriesy ot Anne Hanemann

RICHARD UYEDA
When I heard that Richard Uyeda
chose Tulane University medical
school as a place to devote his life to
medicine it was the happiest day of
my life. I knew that he could become
a good doctor and offer years of
support for Tulane. Tulane gave me
a start in medicine and I can never
forget that.
Clifford I. Uyeda, M.D.

Joseph C. Pisano, Ph.D.
Instructor
Department of Physiology & Biophysics
University of Tennessee, Memphis
62 South Dunlap
Memphis, Tennessee 38163
Dear Dr. Pisano:
I take great pleasure in informing you of your appointment as Assistant Professor in the Department of
Physiology, Tulane University School of Medidne. I sincerely hope that you will accept our invitation to take
this faculty position at our institution, thus ensuring the beginning of a remarkable thirty-five year tenure. I
envision you being promoted to Associate Professor by 1972, and securing tenure in 1975. Furthermore, you
will become an administrator in 1976 by assuming the directorship of the Financial Aid Office and serving as
the Assistant Dean for Admissions. In 1993, you will bear the mantle of Associate Dean of Admissions, and
you will hold this title until retirement.
My first enticement for you will be the ability to work with W. Clifford Newman for the next twenty-five years
as a teacher, researcher, and administrator until he meets his untimely death in 1992. You and Qiff will be the
inseparable duo that will shape and inspire every medical school class at Tulane from this date until vou retire
thirty-five years later. Though you will spend the last ten years apart from Cliff, 1 assure you the first twenty-five
years of memories will serve as a panacea for the pain and the solitude of the last ten.
Secondly, I give you the working relationships and friendships of VVally Tomlinson, Ed Peebles, Bob Vaupel,
Larry Baudoin, Marc Kahn, Jim Corrigan, John Walsh, Bill Browder, Leon Walker, Gerald Kirby, Mary
Anderson, James Fischer, Charlie Dunlap, Leon Weisberg, Blackwcll Evans, April O'Quinn, Anna Epps, Irwm
Cohen, Marty Litwin, Rune Stjemholm, Gene Hamori, Floyd and Judy Domer, Barbara Bockman, Jim Jeter,
Charley Haddad, Kevin Krane, Katie Knight, Jim Hamlin, Dan Winstead, Phil Kadowitz, Rodney Davis, Phil
Daroca and Raju Thomas, to name but a few.
Finally, over 5,250 medical students will be blessed with your teaching, your creative financial aid packages,
your acceptance letters, and the luxury of having the "admissions office" open dailv from 3:00 AM onwards
for advice, emergency loan checks, a cigarette (or two...), and a friendly voice and receptive ear. You will be
an instrumental force behind the highly successful MEdREP program for 18 years for disadvantaged students.
1 can assure you numerous teaching accolades from tlie Owl Club, the intellectual, personal, and financial
gratification of countless students, and the reality that the last day you walk through our hallways, our school
will be changed forever. For after thirty-five years, you will serve as the embodiment of all that is right and
good at our medical school.
rhank you.
Godspeed and 1 remain.

We Innovate Healthcare
From Research

Roche is a leader in preventing, diagnosing and treating disease, enhancing the

research, and our capabilities combine traditional biomedical science with the
latest advances in biotechnology, genetics and genomics. Our investment in
research has led to the recent introductions of important new medicines for
obesity and flu. And our current pipeline includes advances for treating cancer,
osteoporosis and hepatitis C.
Few companies possess the global strength in both diagnostics and therapeutics
that Roche enjoys. By forging closer links between diagnosis and treatment, we're
leading the way to a new dimension in healthcare - individualized medicine. This
approach identifies the best treatment for a specific individual.
And since we understand that every individual is unique, we strive to ensure a
diverse environment. Roche encourages
creativity and embraces differences in
talent, education, workstyle, lifestyle

Obesity, transplant medicine, diabetes, breast
