WILLIAM f. QUINE, NJ. D., l.. L. d.
President Illinois Medical Society.
stefan does not charge as high a fee
as the surgeon and he makes up for it
with his commission. if he is given to
that practice.
This is one of the questions of prac-
tice with which the associations and
societies have been wrestling, and it
is one slow in the process of solution.
DR.. Henrotin says it is a natural out
growth of the evolution of surgery
Many medical colleges. he says, are
paying particular attention to surgery
and turning out young men who are
adapted TO surgery alone and know lit
tie about the practice of medicine as
it should be practiced. These men are
induced to adopt surgery as a spe-
cialty on account of the large fees that
may be charged for the services. The
remedy for this practice. which Dr.
Henrotin deplores. is in having both
the physician and the surgeon propcC-
~ compensated Then the physician
would have no reason to expect a por-
ton of the surgeons share and the
surgeon would have no reason To ten
der it to him.
