THE MEDICAL ISSUE

On Friday, April 4, Federal
Grand Jury in Washington, D. C..
found the American Medical
Association guilty of "a criminal
conspiracy to restrain trade"
The decision has been appealed,
and it is entitled that least two
years will pass before the final
word is said by the Supreme
Court. In the meantime, every
citizen is vitality concerned with
the issues at stake.
The principal issue is simply
this: The right of physicians to
control and influence the quail
fcations of hospital staffs. and
to determine education and ethi-
cal standards for the rendering
of medical care. That is a matter
which has to do with the health
and physical well-being of US all.
Here in the United States, the
quality of medical care has reach
ed level unequaled anywhere
else in the world. Here in the
United States, the average doctor
is far better qualified to treat the
sick, than his counterpart in any
other country. Here in the United
States, the finest type of medical
care is available to rich and poor
alike. Here in the United States,
astounding progress has been
made by the medical fraternity in
fighting the great scourges OF
mankind.
That has been the product of
the American medical system. 1t
Is system whereby the medical
fraternity itself has had the basic
right to control the training of
internes. to establish standards
of qualifications. and to see to
it that the men who staff hospi-
! tails are able to properly care for
the patients that come to them.
Those rights have been con-
sidered essential to the safe,
guarding of the public.
Is the medical profession to be
forced to discard systems OF
ethics. codes of conduct, and
standards of qualifications which
have grown through the years in
response to public need? That
is the grave question which this
case raises.
