The application needs documented evidence of the completion of medical training; satisfactory completion of residencytraining in psychiatry; letters of recommendationfrom three sponsors [he should advise us to whom to write]; and satisfactory grades in the FMGEM or USMLE examinations. [The last is essential for all trainees in the US] It is my understanding that the examination schedule can be obtained from the US. Consular offices. Please ask him to write a letter of appliication addressed to me. I attach a copy of the letter I recently formulated for another applicant; it will give Dr. Lewis a better idea of the work that is ongoing and planned. It was a pleasure to work with you again in Philadelphia. It has taken me more time than it has taken you, but I am now convincedthat NMS is a variant of catatonia. In talking to Teri Rummans of the Mayo Clinic who recently described their experience with malignant catatonia, she added the modification that NMS should be seen as a variant of ‘malignant catatonia’ -- a correction which I consider reasonable. Such associations lead logically to a different protocol for the treatment of NMS -- that of‘lorazepam and ECT rather than dantrolene, bromocriptine, amantadine, and l-dopa. I am rather pleased with the changes in DSM-IV regarding catatonia, and decided that since it is most likely that the APA Task Force will get brickbats and complaints, that perhaps someone should extend a friendly hand. I did so in an editorial for Biological Psychiatry; a copy of the accepted article is enclosed for your interest. from him. Thank you for the recommendationof Dr. Ian Lewis. I look forward to hearing My best regards. Sincerely yours, Max Fink, MD.
