one doctor for every 800 people, -
reports DR.. Victor johnson, secre-
tary of the ANA Council on Medical
Education and Hospitals THAT is
about the right number"
But, out in the hinterlands, the
ratio ranges up to one doctor per
1,500 or more persons. The concen-
tration tends to be heavier in Sec
tions with higher general per capi-
ia income. Districts In comfortable
financial circumstances are more
likely to have good hospital facil-
ities and adequate diagnostic equip
ment. The up-to-date physician
doesn't want to be without them.
There are family motives, too.
Doctors like to live where there are
good schools, churches and roads
and pleasant social contacts.
Another factor in the undersup-
ply is the increasing number OF
medical school graduates who want
to specialize. At the latest count
there were $4,000 certified specialists,
and as many more who devote a
large part of their time to special
ties, in a doctor population of 129, 600.
Hamlets can't support specialists.
As the blocs OF specialists grow, the
ranks Of general practitioners for
city or country dwindle.
