Sixteen years ago. I developed a talk about patients and doctors and
politics and hospitals From my notes. I see the questions are still the same
but the answers are changing This should be a boring column today, so read
something else if you want to
Many of us still value the warm relationship which can exist between
patients and nurses and doctors, even though the "old family doctor"
(wonder why "old"?) Is decades away Young docs are admirable, too
House calls are not so much, but office calls are of much higher quality ias
far as getting at disease is concerned' We used to lie willing to give some
care without charging, and now the pious politician insists, "Oh. you
should be paid for your services "
The telephone is a boon, so much more can lie done per unit of time
Patients' Increasing understanding helps, too. in delivering care Practicing
medicine is a joy. as job satisfaction goes, and many of us are willing to
"overtime." to make a good living
Rural areas are special, it's always miles to somewhere and that surely
sorts out emergencies When I started practice, hospitals were "last
resort", now, happily, they are a good "first resort" for many conditions
All of the above, plus public health concepts, mix together to give us
forever better options, and inevitably, more impressive costs Someday,
we ll have to decide prevention is worth more,
that nature’s
efforts are still an ally, that all of us can't have "all the treatment all the
time so we'll have to share some rationing, that we can or can't have the
government pay for it all. and that America s a pretty good place to be
