Title: 2011 Scope and Scalpel "Intussusception" Excerpt
Description: Excerpt from the 2011 production of Scope and Scalpel "Intussusception." Scope and Scalpel is a drama society of the fourth year students at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. It was formed in 1955 and to this day it carries on the tradition started by Dr. Musgrave and Dr. Felix "Bebe" Miller to produce a show in which they laugh at their profession, their school, and themselves. Each year, a week before graduation, a new Scope and Scalpel is presented. It is the largest and the longest running nonprofessional theatrical production in Pittsburgh.

This excerpt includes a scene from the play in which students parody the then Dean of the Medical School, Dr. Arthur Levine, and his interest in securing NIH finding.
