FEES OF SURGEONS
ARE TO BE LIMITED
Steps Taken by Johns Hopkins
Hospital of Baltimore viii Re-
duce Cost of Operations.

Baltimore.-Johns Hopkins Hospital
+ has taken steps to curb profiteering
in surgery. 1t was learned that the
board of trustees of the famous hos
pital has begun at home its efforts to
dispel the tendency Of many physi-
clans and surgeons to overcharge
wealthy patients.
sweeping dictum issued by the
trustees and limiting surgeons fee
for an operation, even on millionaire
patients, to $1,000 and a physicians q
fee for attending patients in the hos
pital to $50 week is regarded gen.
orally as an order affecting the medi-
cal men of the nation.
Part time physicians and surgeons
practicing at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, the only ones affected by the die
tum, are frankly displeased over the
strenuous order, inasmuch as fees for
operations on wealthy patients have
in the past brought in neat sums.
Many of these surgeons have made
practice of charging from 81, 500 to
$4,000 for an operation, and in lam
guage ph.ased as automatically as
possible the hospital trustees made it
plain that, so far as Johns Hopkins
is concerned the practice is obsolete.
1t was pointed out that the dictum
does not affect the regular full time
physicians, surgeons and other mem.
bers of staff, as all their fees go into
a joint fund, to be later distributed
among the different departments.
On the other hand, there are many
practitioners. most of them Of renown-
ed ability, who have been practicing
at the hospital and charging fees COM
with the pocketbOoks of the
patients. 1t was said that $1,000 fees
had of late been growing common.
Higher fees had been reported
