CHARLES Y. c. PAK Major progress has been made in the
pathophysiologic elucidation and management of nephrolithiasis
during the past two decades. It is now possible to detect the cause
of stone disease in more than 95% of patients, to prevent recurrent
formation of stones in the majority of patients, and to remove most
existing stones less invasively. The assumption of editorship of
this book permits me to indulge in the discussion of this progress
from my personal perspective. Three somewhat fortuitous events in
my academic career dictated my directing major efforts in stone
research. The first event occurred in 1963 when, after having
completed medical training, I was faced with two years of military
service as a participant of the Berry plan. Choices were limited
and disconcerting for someone interested in a research career: a
staff physician at a military installation or an indian
reservation, or a member of a research team in a state
penitentiary. An interesting article by Norman Gershfeld on
phospholi pid monolayers prompted me to write him seeking a
position in his laboratory of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD. Partly
because of at the National Institutes my rudimentary exposure and
publication in surface chemistry, I was offered a position as a
staff scientist and a position in the Public Health Service which
satisfied the requirements of a military service."
