Health Talks
A Doctors Handicap
BY WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR comes In for his
share Of abuse from the public rather
conspicuously these days of spccia.-
ization. and though he may deserve
much Of the criticism heaped upon
him. assuredly he does not deserve IL
all.
Unfortunately the average patient
expects the family physician to d.
vine much that the specialist learns
through many routine laboratory
tests. Somehow a patient Is willing
TO have any sort OF examination or
test the specialist suggests, regard.
less of expense; not so when the
family doctor requires such help.
Unless the latter can satisfy the pa
tient that the test Is likely to dis
close important facts bearing upon
the diagnosis ard treatment Of tho
condition. II is scarcely tactiul TO re-.
quest the patient TO have the test
made We have cited instances IN
this columni any family physician
could quote similar instances.
Some one asked us recently 10 de-
fine an "intornlst" II was a din.
cult query 20 answer. An internist
Is a general practliione. OF medicine
who ran and does persuade all Of hts
patieats 10 undergo whatever scien.
tlic tests or examinations he may
deem helpful IN the diagnosis OF tho
case. OFTEN enough the internist,
with the aid Of his corps Of labora-
tory workers and special assistants,
hits upon a diagnosis which has
naturally baiiled the family doctor.
In that event the internist L. hailed
as great physician. Had the family
doctor been permitted to put tho
same patient 10 the expense neces-
sary for such tests as the internist
deemed indispensable well, II this
were the rule OF practice. we don't
think there would be any internsts.
