\nCharles Enke, M.D., professor and chairman of radiation oncology, discusses new treatments for cancer with members of the Nebraska Legislative League. <\/span>
\n<\/TD>
\n<\/TR>
\n<\/TABLE>“I don’t know if you remember but you treated my father,” Nelson said. “He talked about how he taught you the proper way to use the words ‘lay’ and ‘lie.'” <\/p>\n

Nelson’s comments drew a hearty laugh from Dr. Enke. <\/p>\n

Nelson is the wife of state Sen. John Nelson. She and 12 other members of the Legislative League — which is composed largely of spouses of Nebraska lawmakers — toured the UNMC campus on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Aside from the discussion with Dr. Enke, league members:
\n

  • Learned about research into second-hand methamphetamine exposure from Sandra Wells, Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of environmental, agricultural and occupational health in the College of Public Health; and
    \n
  • Were shown how patient simulators enhance medical education in a session in the Sorrell Center’s Clinical Skills Center with program manager Patti Carstens.<\/UL><\/p>\n

    League members also met with campus leaders including UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D., and Bob Bartee, vice chancellor for external affairs. <\/p>\n
