DOCTOR LOSES:
ANOTHER GAINS
Dr.. ]. S. Hay Tells OF Cases
He Has Turned Over to
Other Physicians.
BARRED FROM HOSPITAL

IN refuting the claims made by some
of the doctors on the hospital staff that
the remunerat tion amounts to but little,
and that the income derived from being
a member Of the hospital staff aver
ages only $40 OF $l2 month, being
practically nothing compared with the
time the doctors put in at the institu.
tion, DR.. j. s. Hay, local physician,
who Is not member of the staff, in
forms the EVENING NEWS of several
cases which he has lost because he has
not been able to 60 to the hospital.
DR.. Hay mentioned one case of ap-
pendicitis in July, which he was forced
to hand over, because he could not GO
to the hospital. He was the family
physician and was the first summoned.
He says that an operation was necessary
and he was forced to turn over the case
to one of the six doctors on the med
ical staff of the hospital. The doctor,
in this instance, charged $100 for the
operation. Here, at least, is one in
stance where local doctor lost con
siderable fee by being barred from the
hospital, and one of the six doctors was
considerably benefited.
But DR.. Hay relates still another
case that he has been forced to turn
over to another physician because he
could not have the use of the hospital
This was a confinement case. The fam
lily resided at their place Of business and
desired to go to the hospital. DR.. Hay
said he could not take the case there.
The family insisted that he should be
in charge, but when they finally under
stood that their physician was barred,
they asked DR.. Hay to tell them who to
go to. He named one of the six doctors
who are on the medical staff and that
doctor took charge of the case. Again
DIR. Hay lost considerably by being
barred from the hospital, end one of the
members of the staff was benefited by
receiving a fellow physicians practice.
But these are only recent cases. Ev-
cry doctor in the city, who is not a
member of the hospital staff, can relate
similar experiences. This has been 60
ing on ever since the hospital was es
tablished Evidently when the members
of the medical staff say they receive
not over $40 or $12 a month, they are
mistaken or else they do not count the
cases they receive from their fellow
physicians who are barred from the
privileges of the hospital.
It is claimed that as the hospital Is
a public institution, supported by pub
lie contributions and appropriations, it
is unfair that some doctors should be
forced to lose some Of their best paying
cases and deliberately turn them over
into the hands of the six who are IA
yored by the hospital authorities.
