LETTER OF RESIGNATION TO DR. NORMAN C. NELSON, VICE CHANCELLOR FOR HEALTH AFFAIRS July 7, 1976 "… for reasons that we are prepared to detail and document we are convinced that the quality of orthopedic education which we seek to attain is not available to us under existing conditions at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and we are further convinced that the potential to develop an adequate program is not possible so long as Dr. Paul S. Derian remains as director of the program. His lack of guidance, direction and concern for his educational responsibilities have frustrated and hampered our efforts to realize our full professional potential and have caused us to question the integrity of the teaching process. We, therefore, herewith resign as residents in orthopedic surgery effective this date and respectfully request to be relieved of all obligations and responsibilities to the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Respectfully submitted, John Patrick Barrett, M.D. William R. Stewart, M.D. Byron Thomas Jeffcoat, M.D. Gene Richard Barrett, M.D. Walter Rowan Shelton II, M.D. William Marshall, M.D. Douglas Wesley Rouse, M.D. John Kirk Drake, M.D. David John Gandy, M.D. (Names added later): Dr. Robert Marascalco, Dr. William Edwards
