by her own bootstraps. He
believes that pSychiatry Is for
the birds. / don't think that
is true, but ! do feel that 1t
is for really sick people and
Nancy Just isn't like that.
1t is true that we have
failed Nancy. that we made
a mistake by not adopting
another child so that she
wouldn't be alone. OF course,
any doctor would make q big
thing out Of that, but at the
time we thought we were do
ing the right thing by put
ting all our effort on Nancy.
Nancy is a nice. attractive
girl and people would like
her II she wouldn't be so shy.
She hasn't had many dates,
but ! think that's just be-
cause she never really got In
with q crowd.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
II Nancy Is serious about
wanting psychiatric treatment
she can take a very big step
toward helping herself by
going to work to earn the
money she needs for treat
ment. Doctors claim that in
most cases q patient who
pays for his own treatment
has a better chance Of max
ing faster progress than one
who doesn't.
II Nancy takes this step
she will be in q position to
convince her parents that
she means business and she
Is not using this issue as q
whip on them. It is possible
that when her father sees
that she is making progress
in improving her life, he will
be willing to help her with
partial payments or q loan
II she is unable TO meet the
heavy costs.
II Nancy does take this step
we believe that she will soon
convince her father that
psychiatry is not strictly for
the birds and her mother
that 1t Is not limited to only
seriously sick people. In any
case. 1t is sometimes hard
for those close to a situation
to judge just how serious the
mental problem is.
We suspect that these
parents, who have wrongly
accepted Nancy's view OF
their failure to her. fear that
the psychiatrist will also &C
cept Nancy's version. I'm
doubleday they resent the
possibility Of being judged
and condemned by an out
slider.
The L. Els can put these
fears at rest. The doctor will
not accept everything that
Nancy says at face value and
II her treatment Is successful
she will lose her childish
bitterness against her par
ents.

Still. bed space Is at q pre-
MUM. Are we getting sicker
as a Nation? Hardly. Our
doctors are slamming more
people into hospitals with
less reason.
One Of the brave men who
speaks out is j. Albert Dur
gom, executive vice president
Of the Hospital Service Plan
OF New Jersey. This State
has but one Blue Cross plan,
and, in 1857, had 2.083.4l5

Of the early fathers OF Blue
Cross. He knows the field.
He says that the United
States, In rs years. has gone
from empty hospital beds to

pitfalls now" Mr.. Durgom
complains that too many pa
tients are admitted for "check
ups" and bed rest" In 1857,

tions paid $l.2l0.59l.526 to
6.6l6 hospitals to admit and
treat 9,454. 087 patients out Of
$3.50. 900 subscribers.
THAT'S A LOT Of hospital
ization. 1.-THE answer" says
Mr.. Durgom., "lies basically
in the hands Of the medical
profession. :: Such author
ity must remain within the
professional judgment of the
physician who bears the re-
sponsibility for the care of
his patient, but such decision
must extent beyond sheer
convenience Of the patient
and the physician, with a
disciplinary set of standards
by the medical stan Of the
hospital. :"
He does not indict medicine
as a profession for these
abuses. Some doctors are
careless, just as some lawyers
are-or engineers. Mr.. Dur
gom claims that organized
medicine will police and dis.
cipline its careless members
or face the threat of Govern
ment regulation. ! do not
believe that this is true. This
is the old socialized medicine
bugaboo.
1t was beaten into the

DEAR DIR. sTEINCROHN.

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
Recently my 65-year-old
mother has been showing
signs of an increasingly bad
memory. The family Is rather
worried because her mother
Tiny grandmotheD showed
practically the same signs at
about the same age. The doc
tors said that hardening Of
the arteries was the cause.
and that nothing could be
done about 1t. (She died some
is years later.)
My mothers doctor says
he finds slight hardening Of
the arteries in mother. too,
but 1t Is nothing to worry
about-that she Is in quite
/ good condition for her age.
Here are my questions. Is
there another cause for loss
Of memory in older people
except hardening Of the
arteries? II not, Is there any
known treatment to arrest
the hardening? Where can
1t be obtained? Thanks very
much for any advice you can
give US. Mrs. HMM.
I WOULD GUESS that
your mothers loss Of memory
is probably due to changes
in her brain circulation. The
cause Is usually arterioscler-
osis. Incidentally. I don't like
the term hardening of the
arteries" which is used so
frequently. Many a patient
who has been told his arteries
are hard and brittle" lives
lin unnecessary fear daily
that he win suffer a stroke.)
