JERROLD H. WEINBERG write about a hos- pital? Sp ecial to Since 1953, L-7 the Jewish News Sinai Hospital of Detroit was an average-sized community hospital, loosely affiliated with the Wayne State University School of Medicine and training four ob/gyn residents per year plus scores of residents in internal medicine, general surgery, anesthesiol- ogy, oral surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychiatry, opthal- mology and other fields. It was found- ed, as were most American Jewish hos- pitals, in order to give a place for Jew- ish doctors to practice when they weren't welcome elsewhere. Sinai was one of those places where you didn't know how good it was until you left. Graduates from our program_, often called us to tell us how well pre- pared they have felt since they entered practice. When Sinai doctors went to national meetings, we found that many of our "routine" practices were just being introduced to many univer- sity hospitals. We sponsored a pioneering interna- tional medical laser meeting 20 years ago; one of our doctors, Dr. Milton Goldrath, invented a procedure to remove the lining of the uterus to cor- rect severe menstrual bleeding. Our department, under the direc- tion of Dr. Alfred Sherman, did pio- neer work in fetal monitoring and laprascopy and trained several univer- sity professors. For eight years, we taught a seven-day course twice a year, teaching laser techniques in gynecolo'-- gy, each attended by 200 people from around the world. But none of these highlights really tell the story of Sinai. Nor do the memories of my children being born there or my relatives, friends and patients being hospitalized there to recover or to die with dignity, or all those patients from whom I learned be a doctor, or all those conference rooms in which I spent exhilarating and agonizing (and occasionally bor- ing) hours.
