way or another. has been touched by current
trends which, in themselves, have been height
ened by the war.
There are the doctors who stayed at home.
Harassed, overworked. exhausted. they have
had little time or energy to worry about
what's happening to them and to that essen
tial human touch.
There is that great army of doctors who
went into uniform and whose development
was stunted by the war. Most doctors. re-
gardess of their training. came out of service
with at least as much skill as they went in
with But military medicine benefited COM
paratively few physicians. Those stationed at
general hospitals could enlarge their capaci-
ties. Others. like the battalion surgeons were
unable - in fact forbidden - to 60 beyond
primary treatment of their patients
Still others - 35 per cent of all those in
service, according to the New England Jour
nal of Medicine" - did work which was
non-medcal in character
There is a group even harder hit We have
now, as a result of the war. some 10000 men
with MD. degrees who have never received
the full background training which every
Evening star., 1946-05-26

doctor should have These are the men who,
through no fault of their own, were trained
by speed-up methods to meet the need for
doctors in wartime. For them the ordinary
eight-year medical course was a highly
compressed fve-year nightmare without
letup They had knowledge painted on them,
layer by layer. until it formed slick veneer
on rough surface.
War Shortened Internships
IHEN, with the vocabulary of medicine
pounding in their heads, they sprinted
through two-year internship in nine months
to qualify as doctors. This meant the skimpi-
est sort of contact with the various surgical
and medical services of a hospital and an in
complete grasp of any of them.
Today these men - who were turned out
like s1nall-arms ammunition - represent ii
per cent of the entire medical profession How
could they fail to be ill-equipped to meet
their responsibility as men and scientists?
Finally. there is the group Of fresh, new
medical students. The current crop of young
pre-meds are coming into an educational sys-
tenn which has not yet been reconverted to

with anv of it. Doctors should be encouraged,
bv subsidy if necessary, to take sabbatlcal
leave from their practices for several months
perhaps every five years. Their study would
be an intensive survey of the best recent ad-
vances since their last refresher course.
The complete answer, however, does not
lie in better training. The scientific knowledge
must be based on ethical principles which
give direction and purpose to it. Only when
there is the complete fusion of science and
spirit will you have the true doctor.
Medicine is profession. 1t isn't trade.
1t must have code of ethics - which every
single member of that profession must up
hold. Our ethical code is dusty and neglected
today There is a tolerance of incompetence
that bodies ill for the future of medicine.
Weed Out Incompetents
IHERE are no statistics of incompetence;
many doctors would disagree even IN their
definition of it. But behind the bright shield
of medicines heroes, pioneers and 'front.'
runners there are the almost-as-goods the
stumblers, the mediocrities.
The medical profession should em-
power a body to demand the same excel
lence of every doctor that, say, Congress
demanded of our industries during the
war. Or in simpler terms, we should accept
responsibility, as Americas attorneys have,
for the maintenance of high professional
standards.
That such a body can work is already
proved by the specialists. For example, there
is the group of obstetrical specialists in New
York This group meets regularly and in open
forum examines all the cases OF maternal
deaths in the city. The doctor in the case
describes his treatment and the other spe-
cialists present may take issue with him, If
they disagree with his methods. There is no
reason why all of us should not have to
answer to such board of our colleagues
At the same time the general practitioner as
we'll as the good specialist must re-establish
in his practice the undeniable values OF the
good family DOCTOR" The family doctors
science was perhaps not so great as his hui
manity, but his personal approach to medl-
cine and the patient can be employed to
advantage today.
The last, and most important. of the an
swers which propose for our problems IS the

the philosophy of the postwar world. The
future depends on them - yet thelT roots are
planted in the past
That's lot of problems - but we can do
something about them. I'd like to propose
a program broad enough to pull our profession
up again to the high level where it belongs.
To get better doctors" we must begin
early. The proper selection of medical
students on the basis of aptitude and
character alone comes first. These stu
dents should then enter an uninterrupted
stream of education which begins in the first
wear of pre-medical school and ends after
internshp.
As it stands, we permit an unlimited num-
Der of pre-med students to scramble for ad-
mission to medical schools whose capacity is
distinctly limited. And at the end of this
course, we invite another scramble for the
so-caled better internships."
Colleges, medical schools and hospitals
should stop guessing. They should adopt uni
form standards and agree on the number OF
students they can absorb each year. This
would enable the men and women who were
chosen to concentrate on becoming doctors.
Their standing forever after in the medical
hierarchy would have no bearing on the repu
tation of their schools or the artificial pres
tige of their internships.
Medical schools must also cease restricting
their training almost exclusively to scientific
subjects. The physician who is ignorant of
the artistic beauty man has. created with his
mind is ill-equipped to prescribe for his body.
Need Culture and Character
| HE lberal-arts courses, which are today
frequently showed under by the "ologies,'
must be restored. The medical school which
recently told it's frst-year men, Were as
interested in your knowledge of history as in
your knowledge of biology" is one of the few
which are on the right track. Culture and
character, as we'll as skill with hypodermic
needle, are necessary to create doctor.
In addition to wider course of study, our
medical schools must offer doctors an oppor-
tunity to take refresher courses. This should
apply both to war DOCTORS" whose training
has been superficial and to ordinary physi
clans, whose interests have narrowed in the
course of years of practice.
Medical progress is made - yet there is no
compulsion for doctor to acquaint himself

homes and apartments be built or

Unless swift action is taken, he
said, there will be chaos in the
housing situation. He also repeat

now to curb an inflationary spiral
which he warned would be ''fataP'

Asks Prompt Passage
Mr.. Truman released the plan
entitled "the veterans emergency

Congress to pass promptly the
measures needed to carry it out.
One Of Wyatt's chief recon-
lnendations-for price ceilings on
existing homes-appeared DOOM
