ThoelkeIn today’s era of managed care, most physicians have fewer inpatients, and that makes it hard for many to justify spending time at the hospital with those patients. Mark S. Thoelke, M.D., clinical director of the hospitalist service at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and assistant professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says because hospitalist physicians do not maintain outpatient practices, they can spend all of their time in the hospital and are available to treat a wide range of patients. That also allows for improvements in outpatient care because with their inpatients cared for by hospitalists, primary care physicians can focus even more of their time on the needs of the outpatients who make up the vast majority of their practices.

David Kilper / WUSTL PhotoEliot Residence Hall during implosionIt took two years to build and mere seconds for it to come down, floor by floor. The last remaining high-rise on Washington University’s South 40, Eliot Residence Hall was demolished just after 10 a.m. Saturday, June 21, to make way for new student housing. As hundreds of Washington University students, faculty, staff, neighbors and alumni — including some who once lived in Eliot — watched, the 12-story, 38-year-old brick structure was imploded, leaving behind a dust cloud that quickly dissipated and a heap of rubble. A new residential hall will be built in the same place and will retain the Eliot name, which honors William Greenleaf Eliot, the university’s co-founder.
