That is, when she\u2019s not clowning around in a pink wig and colorful dress as Tutti Frutti, her true alter ego.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Constant work is] just not healthy,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The theory that is the basis of occupational therapy is to live awell-rounded life. You have to have leisure interests, things you do that make you have fun and keep you healthier. Being a clown fits me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since she was young, Dr. Grice has been fascinated with clowns. After becoming an occupational therapist, she realized something. As a therapist, she is always making her patients do something that\u2019s uncomfortable, sometimes even painful. What if she could do something that was fun? Even better, what if she could use that fun to help her get patients to do those uncomfortable things?<\/p>\n<p>Her transition into the world of clowning didn\u2019t happen overnight. Clowning, after all, is a serious business that takes planning, character development, schooling, the building up of supplies and skills.<\/p>\n<p>But once she started full-force, she couldn\u2019t stop. Dr. Grice has been clowning since 1991, bringing Tutti Frutti into the lives of her patients, hospitalized children and adults, charity events, birthday parties, nursing homes and community events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a hospital clown, I felt it was a way to give back, and in that setting I got to be in a totally different role. I could go in and play and be funny and do something that wasn\u2019t uncomfortable for patients,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Clowning isn\u2019t just a recreational outlet to help keep her sane. It\u2019s also like a shot of adrenaline to her spirit. And on a practical side, it\u2019s also made her a better therapist. Dr. Grice works as a certified hand therapist at the Hand Center of San Antonio. She often digs into her clowning prop bag to get her patients to do hand exercises by balloon twisting and making puppets talk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Occupational therapists do whatever it takes to get a patient to do what you need them to do,&#8221; she said. &#8220;That\u2019s why clowning andOT go so well together. I like to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And humor in medicine is important, she said. So important, in fact, that for 14 years she has taught an elective at the Health Science Center called Laughter is the Best Medicine: An Interdisciplinary Elective about Humor, Healing and Healthcare. That\u2019s where Professor Feather Brains makes her occasional cameos dressed in bright purple hair, round black glasses and white doctor\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see clowning as a ministry,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It\u2019s a God-given talent that I\u2019m using to help people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"RS\"><\/a><b><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\">Ronald Stewart, M.D.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/StewertPic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/StewertPic.jpg\" alt=\"Ronald Stewert, M.D.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/StewertPic.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/StewertPic-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/StewertPic-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>Bluebonnets formed an ocean of blue along the side of the highway last spring. It was an irresistible sight for Ronald M. Stewart, M.D., chair of the Department of Surgery and recreational photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing a flower is best photographed at ground level, he pulled over, grabbed his camera and made his way into the field, finally nestling among the flowers to find the best vantage point.<\/p>\n<p>Like surgery, photographing a flower takes concentration and time. Stillness. Quiet.<\/p>\n<p>The minutes ticked by as he lay on his side. Suddenly, his concentration was shattered, first by an EMS unit with sirens, then by a police officer approaching. Turns out, his stillness was mistaken for something quite different\u2014an injured person in need of help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told her, it\u2019s all fine. I\u2019m taking pictures,&#8221; he laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Stewart has been taking pictures since he and his wife, Sherri, were given a camera as a wedding gift in 1982, first in the operating room as a resident and later at his children\u2019s sports games.

Then you begin gradually tweaking them over time, doing your best, then looking back to see how you could do it a little bit better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s perfected his style to the point that dozens of his photographs can be seen throughout the Health Science Center\u2019s Medical Arts &amp; Research Center and University Health System\u2019s University Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Photography isn\u2019t very different from surgery, he said. Both require concentration, as well as precise steps and careful technique, although there may be different approaches to accomplish the same goal. And depending on the operation, surgery can be peaceful, as can lying in a field of flowers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s an art to both, and there is peace in the complete immersion and flow,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Yet photography allows him something that is unique: the ability to stop and enjoy something that he might otherwise be too busy to see. Beauty is always around, but sometimes it takes a change in perspective, or lighting, to see it, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s an outlet that is relaxing and gives you time to think,&#8221; he said. &#8220;One of the things that we\u2019re really short of in the modern world is any quiet time for reflection or thinking in a non-directed way. I think for me, photography gives me that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"RP\"><\/a><b><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\">Raymond Palmer, Ph.D.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Palmer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4675\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Palmer.jpg\" alt=\"Raymond Palmer, Ph.D.\" width=\"550\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Palmer.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Palmer-130x150.jpg 130w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Palmer-261x300.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>Every now and then, Raymond Palmer, Ph.D., would ditch a day of high school. He\u2019d wait for his mother to leave for work, then he\u2019d go straight to the garage.<\/p>\n<p>He just had to play a little music.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d spend the entire day in that garage, playing the piano, determined to figure out one more Beatles or Jethro Tull song.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Music is just something I have to do,&#8221; he said. And while he played through his undergraduate days, that eventually faded away as he advanced his higher education career, first getting an associate\u2019s degree in physical education,then bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in psychology, a nursing degree, and then eventually a Ph.D. in preventative medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Once he became an assistant professor, he just didn\u2019t have the time anymore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I became real down, almost borderline depressed. Something big was missing from my life. I was cranky and unsatisfied,&#8221; he said. On a trip to the music store one day, where he was surrounded by gleaming guitars and other instruments, he felt an inner joy for what felt like the first time in years. After affirmation from his wife, Cindy, he knew: It was time to start playing music again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My existential crisis was over,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Sometimes you have to give something up because you don\u2019t have time to do it all. And sometimes the things you give up are the things you love and that\u2019s a mistake. You should not do that. That was music for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-4624 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Palmer.jpg\" alt=\"Raymond Palmer, P.H.D.\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Palmer.jpg 700w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Palmer-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Palmer-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>Dr. Palmer, who now is an associate professor in the Department of Family &amp; Community Medicine, is probably best known for his work on environmental neurotoxins and autism. But outside of work, he\u2019s surrounded by the arts. He lives south of downtown in an area popular with art enthusiasts. His home is an 11,000-square-foot industrial space that is part art gallery and studio, brewery, concert venue and residence. Once a month, he hosts musical groups who play in what he calls his &#8220;intentional listening room,&#8221; a performance space that seats about 35 music lovers. He also plays a modified cello in what he jokingly refers to as a &#8220;rhythm and ooze&#8221; groove band and keyboard in a jazz band that plays gigs around town.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have a friend who once asked, \u2018What are you doing in this left-brained academic world? You are so right-brained,\u2019&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is this whole idea that the left side of your brain is analytical and verbal and the right side is artistic and kinetic, but realistically, we\u2019re all a combination of both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Each side works in concert, assisting the other, he said. And music and science aren\u2019t so different, anyway, he added. As a biostatistician, his job is to take data, synthesize it, follow the information and discover associations, which he then presents in a digestible way. He has to perform the statistical analysis, understand what it reveals and, working with a team of other scientists, translate the information to grant-funding agencies. His work researching autism sprouted from a question he had about the causes of the disorder and the desire to find some answers.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, as a musician, he follows an inner voice, develops sounds, notes or a rhythm that sounds good, then lets them evolve into a groove. It develops and grows. He and his bandmates create music that will stir the audience and speak to them in different ways, translating emotion through music.<\/p>\n<p>In both music and science, there is passion to discover and enlighten, he said. And he needs both to feel complete.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your work life doesn\u2019t fulfill the multidimensional aspects of yourself,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is more to all of us than just one dimension. It doesn\u2019t always have to be the arts, it could be reading, gardening, physical activity or whatever your passion is. It makes you a better person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"KH\"><\/a><b><span style=\"font-size: xx-large\">Keith Hill, D.D.S.<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Hill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4677\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Hill.jpg\" alt=\"Keith Hill, D.D.S.\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Hill.jpg 700w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Hill-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/12\/Hill-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s too much of a dentist to be considered bohemian.

But on most evenings, after he gets home, he grabs his backpack and bike and rides to a local haven for ceramic artists\u2014the Alamo CityPottery Workshop.<\/p>\n<p>There, the fridge is stocked with beer and shelves are lined with pottery projects in the works. And Dr. Hillhas his own wheel, where he throws clay and molds it into art.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-4625 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Hill-dentist.jpg\" alt=\"Keith Hill, D.D.S.\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Hill-dentist.jpg 700w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Hill-dentist-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/Hill-dentist-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>After 38 years in dentistry, the last seven spent teaching, dentistry is what he thinks about before sleep takes over. It\u2019s his first thought in the morning. As he\u2019s driving home from work, he&#8217;s thinking about different techniques to share with his students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s true about any medical profession, it can become all you\u2019re about,&#8221; said Dr. Hill, assistant professor in the Department of General Dentistry. &#8220;You need multiple diversions to break the train of thought and give your brain a rest, give your body some rejuvenation, recreation and do something completely opposite of what you are engaged in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the point where dentistry became all-consuming, Dr. Hill decided it was time to find an outlet. He never thought of himself as artistically inclined, but he saw his father find joy in oil painting. Art, he mused, could be one way to break away from the rigidity of his profession and bring some peace to his overworked brain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are very exacting protocols to accomplish a dental procedure and we\u2019re very rigidly trying to achieve perfection in everything that we do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The only way I knew to find release or a mode of expressing my individuality was to start doing some artwork, and I had always been fascinated with ceramics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After more than a dozen ceramics classes in the span of about five years, Dr. Hill\u2019s distraction has become more than a hobby. It\u2019s become his therapy. To date, he\u2019s created upwards of 300 bowls. Some are painted in vibrant colors in homage to the multicultural city he lives in, others are textured and glazed in soothing earth tones. He uses the paintbrushes his dad used, and feels an emotional connection to the man who introduced art into his life.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hill used to give away his bowls to students at Christmastime as gag gifts. Today, students and colleagues alike ask him for his pieces. They decorate the School of Dentistry, often sitting atop desktops and shelves. He\u2019s also started selling his artwork, participating in local art shows and sales through the pottery workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Though dentistry must be exact, art is fluid and flexible. He has learned that imperfections can lead to beautiful and functional art. Flexibility is one of the things he likes the most about ceramics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dentists tend to be terribly critical of themselves, even when a procedure has been successful. When you create something away from your profession, it helps you be a little bit more flexible and not be so hard on yourself. It helps me be a little more tolerant, and recognize that in anything we do, there are going to be flaws and imperfections. Even with great success, even with something that looks beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it has added something else that\u2019s important. It has added to my mental health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Even Albert Einstein, the father of the theory of relativity, a pillar of modern-day physics, had another, less obvious [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":9119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fall-winter-2014"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
