nearest DOCTOR, and in nine cases out
of ten he is not paid for the call. After
a few dozen of these experiences he is
a little shy about chasing out into the
night on a hurry call.
The majority Of doctors, however,
go on the principle that n physicians
time is not his own. that he is enlisted
in the cause of suffering humanity and
should be ready ut all times to render
aid to the needy. These doctors for the
most part are the younger generation
who have not had so many hard
knocks as their gray-bearded brethren
and who are striving to build up n
practice in the fierce competition which
obtains in large cities. They insist
tnat whoever calls on a doctor at any
hour for aid should be answered at
once. They look at the question from
n humanitarian point Of view more
than a unitarian, and openly say
that the medical profession owes ii to
the public to be every ready to respond
to call.
That there is great deal of injustice
on the part of the public cannot be
doubted, and IL Is also true that IL the
public would consider physician not
as a bounden servant, but as profes-
sional man full Of duties, and never
infringe on his night leisure except in
cases of real urgency, the man of med
icine would always meet patients half
way. 1t is IN error to suppose that a
doctor Is compelled to consider all calls.
There Is no law strictly covering the
case, while many eminent physicians
declare IL 10 be a part Of their religion
to regard calls, whether they bring
fees or not, as part of bounden duty,
they as well point to the fact that a
failure TO solve the problem OF Just
when physician should be required to
give his time at unreasonable hours
for nothing. has driven many persons
out Of the profession.

consulting his personal desires and
comfort before answering call. So
much of a physicians work is prac-
tically charity, they say, that he is at
liberty to use the same prudence about
undertaking the work offered him by
strangers that any other professional
man is. Other physicians assert
yehemently that every reputable doc
tor will answer any call, that it is part
of his religion to be ever ready to sue
cor the afflicted owing to the peculiar
nature of his profession, and that it is
not comparable to the stand that might
be taken for fee by an attorney or a
man In any other business whose SER
vices might be sought by stranger.
They say that the emergency which
usually exists when a doctor is called
in the night should be sufficient incen-
tive to him to respond to the call and
take his chance of being paid later;
that case of life and death cannot
wait until the morrow, as a lawsuit or
any other business might.
Physicians of years of experience in
general practice in Chicago make the
startling statement that from % to go

Complaints of serious nature do not

called upon at night to render immedi-
ate aid with no fee In sight when he
asks for the history of the case he

early hour In the morning, after hay
ing had few days in which to seek
the free aid that Is at their disposal,
they call upon professional man to
leave his bed, with no prospect Of re-
Enumeration, and attend the case of the

A favorite trick of panlc-stricken
families In an emergency, the doctors
say, is to call up half a dozen doctors
