In conspectus, consideration is given to the first "academy" in ancient Greece, current national health goals, change affecting health and medical care in the United States, and evolution--as well as the promising future--of the American Academy of Ophthalomology and Otolaryngology. Contemplating the future, the advice of James Thurber is increasingly valid: "Look backward not with anger, nor forward with fear, but look around with awareness."
概括来说,本文探讨了古希腊的首个“学院”、当前的国家卫生目标、影响美国健康和医疗的变化,以及美国眼耳鼻喉学会的发展历程及其充满希望的未来。展望未来,詹姆斯·瑟伯的建议愈发具有现实意义:“向后看,莫要愤怒;向前看,无需恐惧;环顾四周,保持清醒。”
