Finding him there after death seemed imperative. I typed his name into MySpace, feeling covert and slightly criminal. Nor, apparently, was that unseen self writing back. By now, of course, the messages had no recipient, and the friends my patient had made were writing to one another. At the same time, professors at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere instituted early versions of modern residency training programs, in which residents newly minted doctors learned their profession on the wards from attending physicians and, in turn, taught students.
This new division of labor established hierarchies. Finding him there during life seemed illicit; peeking into his bedroom window. They were not written to a haunted self, or someone who had failed trials of antipsychotic drugs, or someone who had been hospitalized again and again under duress. By now, of course, the messages had no recipient, and the friends my patient had made were writing to one another.
The unquestionably normal person, whose photograph still looked as though it were reading its e-mail messages from the opposite side of the Web page, had already fled to find peace, or reconciliation or relief, I don't know. In our last meeting, before he stopped coming to appointments, he told me that he had joined the site to meet friends. On the opposite side of the screen, there were scrolls of e-mail messages that other MySpace members had sent him: friendly, uncapitalized, hallucination-free greetings. I had thought of him as struggling under the constant hold of hallucinations. The last dozen messages on the screen were exactly the same.
This new division of labor established hierarchies. Last were the medical students, who spent the most time with patients but were most assuredly at the bottom of the heap.
Even when students do speak up, they may be ignored. Fortunately, medical educators are increasingly recognizing the dilemmas that doctors in training confront when they witness behavior that makes them uncomfortable. Medical educators are only now beginning to teach this skill. Back she went to Raheen, flattered and excited, only to be outfoxed by the wily Irish charmer, then ninety-five and giving nothing away. Biography, as Ian Donaldson showed in his essay 'Matters of Life and Death: The Return of Biography' (ABR, November 2006), is now a plastic, responsive, democratic and, yes, reputable art, capable of all sorts of liberties and latitude. Canberra would decide how many Commonwealth-supported students could be enrolled at each university and what disciplines they were to study. Dawkins announced that the Commonwealth would only support institutions with a minimum of 2000 full-time students.
Dawkins wanted to expand access for students to the system, and sympathised with CAE claims for university status. Finding him there during life seemed illicit; peeking into his bedroom window. They were an introduction to a man I had not properly known.
But he had ignored his hallucinations long enough to write of a different yet equally true self here, and he had found friends who identified him not by psychiatric symptoms but by astrological sign. Yet even though such acts can jeopardize patients, the inclination and ability of young doctors to speak up is hampered by the hierarchies in teaching hospitals.Last were the medical students, who spent the most time with patients but were most assuredly at the bottom of the heap. Although some senior physicians welcomed feedback from their juniors, others disdained it, either overtly or through intimidation. A student recently told me he had examined a patient and concluded that she might have a severe abdominal disorder. What should a medical student do in such a situation? One possibility is to take the matter up with a more senior doctor. Penny Henderson and her colleagues at the University of Cambridge wrote in 2005, physicians and students need to be educated about how to give feedback in professional and nonconfrontational ways.
"What our study shows," he continued, "is that interventions even without a vaccine can be effective in blocking transmission. At a 1965 seminar on the future of higher education, the first vice-chancellor of Monash, J.A.L. At one point, she considers writing a book about the Palmer marriage. Finding him there during life seemed illicit; peeking into his bedroom window.
On the opposite side of the screen, there were scrolls of e-mail messages that other MySpace members had sent him: friendly, uncapitalized, hallucination-free greetings. In this world, he was a Pisces, not a schizophrenic. By now, of course, the messages had no recipient, and the friends my patient had made were writing to one another. Doctors in training sometimes confront situations in which they worry that their supervising physicians are making mistakes or bending the truth.

Although some senior physicians welcomed feedback from their juniors, others disdained it, either overtly or through intimidation. Although this practice made many students uncomfortable, most were afraid to speak up.

Penny Henderson and her colleagues at the University of Cambridge wrote in 2005, physicians and students need to be educated about how to give feedback in professional and nonconfrontational ways. Still, it will be hard to change the unfortunate perception that constructive feedback, even for a patient's benefit, is whistle-blowing. Back she went to Raheen, flattered and excited, only to be outfoxed by the wily Irish charmer, then ninety-five and giving nothing away. Batchelor, with just under five hundred student places allocated for 2006, is the sole survivor of pre-Dawkins days. Finding him there after death seemed imperative. The messages had this in common: They were all written to a correspondent who led an unquestionably normal life.

Benefits flowed too in socio-economic terms; an Australian Council of Education Research study con-cluded the proportion of children of unskilled manual workers going to university nearly doubled between 1980 and 1994. By the time the Dawkins wave of mergers concluded in the early 1990s, sixty-three higher education providers had become thirty-six universities, many with multiple campuses. Dawkins announced that the Commonwealth would only support institutions with a minimum of 2000 full-time students. Dawkins was not principally interested in nurturing diversity within the higher education system.
During 2006 Minister Bishop has allowed institutions to begin this process, while Labor has proposed a formal mechanism, a negotiated compact between Canberra and each university, acknowledging different roles, missions and circumstances. Each soon resembled in basic organisation, courses offered and academic mission the original universities in Sydney and Melbourne. Elsewhere, we have Richard Holmes's seminal Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer (1995) and Leon Edel's Bloomsbury: A House of Lions (1979), but Australian examples are few. Engendering empathy towards suffering was something you tried to do in your work, not merely from principle but because you felt deeply for society's outsiders.
Eventually, she became his research assistant on a biography of Archbishop Mannix. Finally, Canberra must surrender its close control of universities, since these regulations entrench conformity. Flinders staff were expected to share decision-making. Free education probably also contributed to greater female involvement in higher education, with women becoming the majority of students by 1987. Almost three decades after her initial work on Martin Boyd, Niall's choice of subjects seems more unexpected and her sense of biography's possibilities more liberal than those of the young Monash academic.
An institution profoundly affected by these changes was one of the last surviving small specialist institutions, the Victorian College of the Arts. And, importantly, Flinders was financed in part by the Commonwealth government.
As founding vice-chancellor Peter Karmel told a meeting at the Adelaide Town Hall, 'we want to experiment and experiment bravely'. As she considers Cassab's life story (migration to Australia in 1951, having lost her mother, grandmother, uncle and other family members in Auschwitz), and those of a generation of Holocaust refugees, Niall is acutely aware of the human cost of the Howard government's policy on detention centres and shocked by its 'scant respect for the rights of refugees'. His archive is vast and untouched; he knew Eamon de Valera and Michael Collins; he endured interminable summer holidays at Portsea as Archbishop Mannix's companion; he knew the Wrens and was astonished by Ellen Wren's calmness after the publication of Power Without Glory (1950). Hope's young English Department in Canberra and writing her MA on Edith Wharton. I continued writing to you into the following year, not immediately realising you were unable to reply, even though your later letters spoke of confusion and of unaccountably getting lost in familiar streets. If UNSW and Monash frustrated early hopes, the 1960s provided a second opportunity to instil difference. In 1940 her parents bought a farm in Tallarook, partly because of Brenda's health.
In any case, you would never crush anyone who had taken the trouble to read your work with sufficient care to formulate ideas about it, though you were secretly irritated by reviewers who insisted on laying out your whole narrative on the slab, thus threatening to spoil discoveries other readers might prefer to make for themselves. In recent months, this yearning for difference has become a political consensus. In the long run, financial dominance by the Commonwealth would impose uniformity on institutions on both sides of the binary divide.
In the mid-1970s, overall school retention rates were about thirty-five per cent, and much lower for young people in working-class families. They were not written to a haunted self, or someone who had failed trials of antipsychotic drugs, or someone who had been hospitalized again and again under duress.
