FEE SPLITTING. APoLoG1sr.

The animus Of this popular practice is
revealed. however. in subsequent

various hospitals OF the state has be-

apologist, that it is just nip and tuck
between them. The outside doctors
who are not connected with any hospi-

cal cases where they could get the
most from the surgeon who operates
upon the patient" A certain doctor
is quoted as making the following
statement: Il had not been in my
present position two days until ] had
received at least dozen letters from
doctors from all over the state asking
me what my split was on operating
cases. A little further on, this man

less responsibility upon them. can

competent men in the shops who have
