CITY HAS SERVICES
OF 1900 DOCTORS
Some Listed Physicians Are
on Federal Roll, However.
and Rarely Practice.

Washington. as big cities 90. must
be fairly healthy.
True, it's population is sufficiently
ailing to give 1900 physicians an ex-
cuse for living here. That is the
latest estimate of the District Health
Department of the number OF doctors
Of medicine who actually are available
for service in the city.
But the population OF Washin gtor
Is Approximately $4,000. so that real
~ it requires nearly 500 men, women
and children to make up tho practice
Of a single physician. Actually there
are 400 doctors registered In the
city, but this includes a great many
who simply take the examinations
here and then transfer TO some other
locality.
In addition there are 40 osteopaths
166 chiropractors and 4S Christian
Science practitioners laooring TO keer
Washingtonians in good health.
Some Federal Employees.
As a matter of fact. it was es,i-
mated at the health Office, the actua!
practice of many of the 1900 doesn't
amount to much. They are employed
at various Government bureaus as
scientific workers and have very
desultory private practice. If any at
all.
Probably each physician who de-
votes his entire attention to his prac-
tice has nearer 500 than 500 patients
to draw on. if he gets his full share.
But the 1900 are available in the
event of any great epidemic.
Many physicians of Independent
means. it was said, live i'll Washing-
ton without much .pretense OF prac-
ticing because OF the excellent oppor-
tunities for research work AFFORDED b!
the libraries and Government labcra
tories here.
Small towns throughout the South
continually are appealing to the Dis
trict Medical Society to place before
physicians Of Washington the oppor-
tunities afforded by a country prac-
tice without any competition. ana
some of them offer to make up a reg
ular salary for any competent DOCTOR
who will come 10 them.
The yearly income OF the physicians
who actually practice in washington.
1t was said, would not average NOR"
than 81 900. although leaders OF the
profession receive sums much greater
than this. On the other hand, there
are some, mostly starting practlce.
whose yearly income is very small
The ranks OF these are swelled every
year by graduates OF Georgetown ana
George Washington Medical Schools.
many OF whom are loath to leaNN
Washington and prefer to nEh'
against a crowded field rather than tn
start practice somewhere else.
