Controlled chaos
"That's the way you have to do it. You cannot stand the pressure all the time. Talking about the case is getting it out of your system."
The situation is somewhat different if a patient dies, Jobe said. The doctors and nurses talk about the case, and then they talk about something else.
"Sports is a really popular subject, or gardening—something completely dif- ferent."
And, as a self-protective measure, an E. *Kurz* must remind herself that she can't *Kurz*.
the another self-protective measure is the camaraderie that exists among E. R. Munroe.

Another nurse said the day-to-day work in
an emergency facilities was as hard
as painting a room.
"It doesn't take long to blow the whole works," she said.
Jobe said the most difficult part of her job was dealing with parents who had lost a son or sister.
"To most people, if you're there, it's enough," she said. "You know to know you enough, and that's all right."
--elevators and several in the emergency rooms," she said. "You can be under all sorts of pressures and then see a baby born. All the pressures go away."
The rewards of the job make it worthwhile. Jobe said, She's been head nurse of the hospital.
"WE'VE DELIVERED babies in the
Even more rewarding, Jobe said, is saving someone's life. One patient had both a leg and an arm amputated when he was run over by a train.
"There were about four or five doctors here, and everyone was busy doing his thing."
"I looked at the patient and saw that he wasn't breathing and tapped one of the doctors on the shoulder and said that we'd more concerned about the breathing."
A month later, Jobe said, she saw the same patient walking down the hall with his arm outstretched.
Foster, who has worked as an E. R. nurse at the Med Center for three years, said, "Some lady walked to me the other day and she said I 'don't think you remember how well I care' when my mother tried to kill herself, and you were so very nice to me, and I appreciate it."
"IT WAS SO rewarding to see this patient, who could so easily be dead, walking down the aisle."
"That's why I do it," Foster said. "It's the whole thing."
One more picture of the emergency facilities at the KU Med Center is a desk, cluttered with half-finished tablets, half-finished cases, and a bottle of antacid and patient records.
"A person who likes to have everything organized and perfect control would go nuts in an emergency room," Foster says. "You can't control it, you can't control how many come in all the time."
But despite the chaos, she adds, "I might come to work for free."

"He was happy for me. He also said something about being sorry I didn't make more money out of it. But that wasn't really a strong motivation."
Ryan spoke in a calm, relaxed voice. With his wife, Anne, and Timmons a few feet away, Ryan thanked "the people who have been really important to me."
"He's been a tremendous help to me," Ryun said of Timmons, who began coaching Ryun when he was a 15-year-old at Wichita East high school in 1962. "And my wife, who taken over the role of jock in the family."

for the day. He cried. Laughing.
Ryn said that he didn't know whether he would return to Santa Barbara, where he ran a summer track camp for children, and that his coach would pick up him from camp and go to McDougal's."
Although Ryun was a guest announcer for a network broadcast of the San Diego Indoor Games two weekends ago, he said he had never heard he would go into that profession, either.
"It was like running a 3:49 mile," he said of the announcing experience. "The response from the producer and director at that point was that they were very pleased and wanted me to do more. What will happen, I don't know."
He won five NCAA championships and ran in three Olympic Games, in Tokyo, Mexico City and Munich. Ryan didn't make the finals in the 1,500 meter run at Tokyo in 1964, when he was a high school junior, because of a cold.
*ALL THE adulation that's been given to
achievements, he said.
Asked what he considered the highlights of his career, Ryun said, "I'd like to say the friends I've made, the close relationships I have with friends, some of the things I'll cherish the most."
While a student at KU, KRu set world records in the mile (3:51.1), 1,500 meters race, in the half marathon (3:54.2), 3,564, sprint medley relay (Kru 880 legs) of 1:46.1 contributed to a time of 3:15 at the Texas Relays in 1987), distance medley race (3:13.8), a 3,930 team) and the indoor 880 (1:48.1).
In 1968, weakened by a pulled muscle and a lingering case of mononucleosis, Ryun ran second to Kenya's Kip Keino in the 7,800-foot altitude of Mexico City.
AT MUNICH, Ryun fell in a preliminary
height of the 1.500 meter run by a Ghannan
Timmons, who was attending his Olympic Games, was timing Rynn every 50 meters. Timmons has said he didn't see him during his stop watch the moment it happened.
Despite two appeals, Ryun wasn't allowed to compete in the semifinals.
A computer had erred in placing him in the same heat as Kip Keino, another favorite for the 1,500 title, and Ryun's amateur career was over.
Before running in Munich, Ryan had been expected to call it quits after the Games. After the announcement of a professional contract, however, he decided to continue racing.
IN HIS FIRST WITH itA, Ryun won 14 of 17 races. But by the second year, 1974, he was beginning to feel the effects of constant hard running on the difficult, sharply banked indoor tracks. He suffered back and lee injuries.
His retirement announcement wasn't unexpected.
"I've enjoyed it," Rym said. "There have been a lot of good times that I can look back on, especially the time I time looking back, either, because now that I have four healthy, happy children and a wife and a good family and Christ at the heart, there are lots of exciting things in front of me."
Timmons, who told Rynu he would break the four-minute barrier when Ryan had a best of only 4:26, was asked whether Ryun had met his expectations.
"YES, HE DID," Timmons said. "My only regret is far as his achievements are concerned is that Jim didn't win the gold medal in the Olympic Games.
"But, at the same time, he gave it a terrific effort. He did everything necessary to help him breathe. Maybe that's one of the heartbreaking things in athletics. But maybe that's one of the things that puts the spice into sport. You can't preconceive outcomes of comebacks."
"Striving is the most important thing, and he did that. It's been a long, tough career, starting way back with training in junior high and East high school. I started with him in 1962, that's been a long while. Lots of memories. It's been great."
Will Timmons ever coach the likes of a Jim Rynn again?
"Oh, I wouldn't want to predict that. That's what it's all about; to think there may be another one around the corner somewhere.
"But there's never going to be anyone just like Jim, and there shouldn't be."
Kroeger, who began work Monday, said that CAA was helping those who were aware of the service, but that more people needed to know what CAA offered.
Located in Room 228 of the Kansas Union, CAA, a nonprofit organization run by a board of directors, handles consumer education for students and University of Kansas students.
Better publicizing of Consumer Affairs Association (CAA) services is a priority of the agency.
Between July 1974 and June 1975 220 complaints were closed, Kroeger said, and 143 complains, 88 of which were made by students, have been closed since then.
Kroeger, a 1966 KU graduate, said she thought the students provided about half of the complaints received. Most student complaints are about landlord problems, she

Consumer Awareness Week, the last week in March, will be part of the CAA's educational activities, also, Kroger said. A new CAA training week will be used as a fund-raising program.
The education process includes hand-books, which Kroger is in charge of writing, and workshops, which she will organize program and other publicity, she said.

Kroeger said she first became interested when she was pregnant with her first child. She and her husband were concerned with the pregnancy and both expensive and hard to find, she said.

MOST OF KRIOEER'S qualifications for the work of CAA came as a result of the work of our colleagues.
Kroeger said anyone interested in learning about consumer affairs could do volunteer work for the association. She said she would like help in changing the format of the association's television program and with office work.
