reason. It comes home at that terTlfy-
ING moment when a dear life lies IN the
hollow of a doctors hand. 1t makes no
odds to us that the doctors have agreed
we know the facts. We are the inter
ested ones. We are vitality interested
There is not single one of us who
should remain ignorant another moment
of how an honorable courtesy known as
sSnedical ethics" has been made the
motif of a farce-a curiously sinister
farce. one attended by daily tragedies.
The disease is called secret fee-split-
ting and commission giving. The fee is
split between the physician who gets
case and the surgeon or other specialist
who performs the operation. 1t is uni
yersallv condemned, but nationally prac-
ticed. 1t is done behind the patient s
back. and, being discovered, skaters
that fine confidence in the man of medl-
cine. Secretly carried on, it cheats all
hands and puts the public at the mercy
of INSCRIPTIONS men. It has grown up
in darkness under the cover of medical
ethics and has lent itself to all the cor
rupting influences that the sfifty human
mind has been capable of inventing.
Let this stand as a fact. There is
unlimited proof Fee-splitting is becom-
ing so common in this country that the
men who refuse to pass through the
gate which is left open for them are
beginning seriously to feel the effect. |
have it from the biggest men in the
profession. Many who are the most
capable, the most high minded, with
but single thought and that for the
life of the patient, are finding their bust
ness going TO charlatans.
This is a moderate statement of the
case. Men whose names carry weight
both in and out of the profession put
it much stronger. The point l wish to
make Just here is that, in spite of all
the denials that have been and will be
made. the practice of feesplitting does
exist TO very marked degree.
Why have not the doctors Themselves
done something about it7 An answer
cannot be made in a sentence, but this
can be said out of hand: The tap Tooi
to the evil is medical ethics" But why
should gentiemanly courtesy proFe sc

Recently, in an entirely different rela-
ton, it has done much harm By throt-
Ting publicity. Medical quatks were
making capital out of the discovery OF
a cure for one of the worst of human
diseases, charging extortionate rates and
making extravagant claims for it. The
price of the specific is s3.50l but the
takers We're advertising it at $50 Anx-
ious to right the wrong. the importer
considered the advisability of starting a
counter advertising campaign, stating
the correct price and warning TIE vic

ences made him fear the medical socie
ties mo, no" he thinks they would
have said, "you must not do that. It
would be unethical."
Medical ethics" grew originally out of
mutual respect. But it cannot be said
that all doctors respect all others. It
is certainly not true today. ANY good
doctor can tell you terrible stories of
patients who have been mishandled and
died at the hands of unworthy men, but
they tell it TO you in confidence, mind
YOU. 1t is not ethical" to have these
things known.
In consequence they leave wide-open
opportunity for anything short of Grim
inal practice. The out-and-out quack
they all assail, but the unworthy man,
as long as he is ethical" is protected
by silence. And, of course, it is the
to split fee or do anything else to
get business and make money. IN
THESE DAYS THE CRAFTY QUACK
DOES NOT ADVERTISE IN THE
NEWSPAPERS. He finds it more prof
table to remain ethical and split big
fees.
This is a curious twist to the word
ethics" There is only one standard of
ethics, which we know as Christian eth
les, and this soft-handed medical eth
les" has the effect of multiplying it. The
doctors may think they are doing unto
one another as they would have done to
themselves. but they are not; and the
patient, the one person over whom there
is any real question of ethics, is left en-
tirely out of it. While the doctors bow
and defer to one another most ethicaliy,
he may die. Which may seem unavoid-
able in a profession where it is of neces-
sity often a case of the best guesser,
hut it defeats its own narrow end. 1t
not only leaves the man who is ethical
in the Christian sense bowling and defer,
ring to the crafty crook who remains
just inside the ethical line, but TN
der the conditions of modern pract5 ice,
it is cheating honest men of their dyfe
The trouble lies in the way doctors
are paid Nowadays the big fees are
going to surgeons and other specialists.

MEDICAL SOCIETY, MADE THE en-
PHATIC STATEMENT, 81 BELIEVE
THE PUBLICATION OF NAMES OF
THE OFFENDING PHYSICIANS
WOULD CAUSE GREAT HARM, AS
IT WOULD HIT SOME OF THE BEST
KNOWN MEN IN THE CITY"
As far as I am able to find out. the
threatened list was never published
Most significant of all the diagnoses
was that made by DR.. John P Lord,
president of the Western Surgical Asso-
ciation. In an address before. this body
last December he pointed out the growth
of the secret disease and minced no
words. "And it has been my observa-
ton" he added, shat fee-splitters are
bad competitors in other ways They
will resort to other equally devious or
questionable means of getting patients.
They are universally underbidders; they
lack sincerity; they are dishonest; they
do not stop at dividing with physicians
Hotel clerks, hackmen, news agents, bar
keepers, ordinary clerks, travelling men,
medical students. priests and preachers
are represented, though few Of the lat
ter class stoop to the practice"
sWhole states" he went on, "are
reported in the grasp of the system
Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Texas, as
well as many other states, are affected
by it. From Kansas specialists report
splitting of fees is too mild a term; the
surgeon must now accept what the gen
eral practitioner is willing to give him.
In Kansas, evidently, it is the other
fellows OK which is gored. 1t shows
how far a hidden practice can be car
ried.
The result of this speech was that
for the first time in the history Of the
Western Surgical society, which is a
very large and powerful organization,
real attempt was made to keep out
the fee-splitters. 1t was done, of course.

the operation unnecessarily. If the sur
geon fail to prove that there was cause
for cutting he is to be prosecuted fer
malpractice.
But I can hear the profession crying
for proof, so, before going further we
would better supply it. For many
learned and honorable gentlemen refuse
to believe that the secret splitting of
fees is any more of a menace than the
quackery whirh has always chung to the
hem of the professions gown. They con-
slider it harmful, in fact, "unethical'' to

the entire body is affected, and the pub
