that a case Of life and death cannot

Physicians Of years Of experience in
general practice in Chicago make the
startling Statement that from Is to GO
per cent. of a Doctors work is donated.
Some physicians say about one third Of
their time and experience goes for
nothing, others place 1t at a quarter,
and two declare that fully 60 per cent.
was never paid for. Some Of this
work, Of course, they know will not be
paid for. that done at hospitals and for
people who frankly confess their in
ability to meet the bill. But It is the
other part that rubs. 1t is the bills OF
people who can and will not pay that
make doctors shy about going out on
night calls and increasing the annual
percentage Of charity work. It IL well
known that doctors donate q far great
er percentage Of their work than other
professional men do. The medical
charities Of great city like Chicago,
says the Chronicle, are enormous In
the aggregate. The time that 10 do
mated by hundreds Of doctors to hos
pitfalls and dispensaries Is worth many
thousands Of dollars. and by many in
the profession the claim IL made that
the doctors are far too liberal In this
regard since the free dispensaries and
hospitals are taken advantage Of by
people well able to pay for medical at-
tendance, and thus the profession Is
cheated out Of thousands Of dollars ev-
cry year.
