This volume contains the edited proceedings of a Totts Gap
Colloquium held June 15 to 17, 1980 at Totts Gap Medical Research
Laboratories in Bangor, Pennsylvania under the sponsorship of three
neighboring community hospitals in the Lehigh Valley; St. Luke's
Hospital of Bethlehem, Easton Hospital of Easton and Muhlenberg
Medical Center of Bethlehem. The objective of the meeting was to
examine from several points of view the impact of rapidly
proliferating technology on medical education, practice and
research, on hospitals and on the community at large. The
participants were selected not only for their diversity of
experience and point of view, but also for ability to listen as
well as to speak. They were asked to examine, in an informal
analytical dialogue, the effects on the quality and cost of health
care and health education brought about by increasing reliance on
medical technology. A further aim was to explore various strategies
through which might be devised an affordable way to benefit fully
from technological advances without compromising human initiative
or diminishing emphasis on clinical judgment and effective
communication between doctor and patient. The participants included
a medical student, seasoned practitioners and medical educators,
young specialists, researchers, administrators and members of
boards of trustees of community hospitals and laymen as follows:
Dr. Robert Ackerman, Associate Professor of Radiology, Harvard
Medical School and Director of the Carotid Evaluation and Cerebral
Blood Flow Laboratories at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Paul
