Is That So?
By Eugene Bum

Copenhagen, With SAS
Quite naturally, one of the first
things I did was to visit the
zoo a 30-cent taxi ride from
the heart of the city. In com
pany with two directors, I saw
a splendid collection of animals
particularly the birds, and not
to be forgotten two musk oxen,
as far as I know, the only two
In captivity.
Like many of the other ani
mals in the zoo, they were gen
tie and I had the pleasure of
walking into the enclosure and
patting them. Patting musk
oxen!
During our lunch at the zoo
restaurant, within the grounds,
I complimented Svend Ander
j sen and Dr. Holgar Poulsen

upon the fine appearance of
their animals, telling them I had
seen none better in any zoo,
however spacious. Considering
the old, restricted quarters, this
is no mean feat to bring off.
They in turn told me how they
kept their animals looking so
alert and healthy, something I
am sure any person with a pet
will want to know.
Over our first course of
smoked salmon, I asked: "How
are you able to be on such good
terms with your animals? For
example, walking inside the en
closure with the musk oxen?"
"Oh that's easy," said Mr. An
dersen. "You see, I make it a
point to come to see them just
as often as I can. Every day if
possible. And on schedule. You
see, animals have very definite
patterns of behavior. They are
rather punctilious because they
have a time sense, a promptness
hard to explain. And, of course,
our men feed them on time, each
day. That is important because
it gives them a sense of security
and well-being, trite as these
phrases may sound, and with it,
a regular schedule aids their
digestion."
Healthy Diet Planned
"But a good share must be due
to the kind of food?" I put in.
"Your diet must be exceptional
ly good."
"Yes, we think so," said Dr.
Poulsen, "we plan a diet that
is healthy or should I say that
will not harm them. And, if we
can, we try to counteract some
of the terrible things good mean
ing people insist upon feeding
animals. You see, confined ani
mals are worse than children,
much worse: they eat far too

Patients who complain to their friends about
the way their doctors treat them have a better
place to take their complaints.
This is a special grievance committee, which
Is part of the Jackson County Medical Society.
The committee was organized some years ago
by the Medical Society to hear patients' com
plaints regarding physicians' services or fees. It
provides for fair hearings for BOTH patients and
physicians whenever the patient and doctor are
unable mutually to resolve their disagreement
Many complaints brought before -the committee
stem from misunderstandings which arise when
a ohvsician neglects to explain fully, in advance,
the type of treatment reauired or the cost of the
medical services rendered. ,
The medical profession has for its prime ob
jective service to humanity. Reward or financial
gain should be a subordinate consideration. That
is the first provision In our code of medical
ethics.
We mean what we say in that provision. We
want you to have the finest medical care In the
world, regardless of your ability to pay.
Our mediation or grievance committee helps
the medical profession to give you the best possi
ble care by:
1. Offering an efficient way of handling pa
tient complaints.
2. Protecting physicians from unjustified
criticism.
3. Demonstrating to the community that doc
tors have their patients welfare at heart.
This committee suggest that you tell your doe
tor when a fee, which may be reasonable for oth
ers, is more than you can Tay without depriving
yourself or vour family of the other necessities of
life. Franklv and honestly discuss your situation
with your doctor in advance. Don't put off ex
plaining your circumstances until after you re
ceive the doctor's bill. It isn't fair to either of you.
Doctors are anxious that no real grievances go
unadjusted.
Some of the complaints made to the commit
tee have been entirely justified. The committee,
in these cases, has recommended to the dofor
involved tht oroper adjustments be made. The
maioHty of the comola'ints have been settled
amiably between the doctor and natient. and did
not require the further services of the committee.
The committee has had very little business,
and. frankly, we hope it continues that way.
Nevertheless, we want the public to know
that we. as a orofession. are anxious to cooperate
in rendering the finest medical care, and in pre
venting dissatisfaction.
If you feel you have a legitimate corrrolaint,
you may write to the Jackson County Medical
Society, Dr. Earl Lawson. Secretary, 406 Medical
Center Building, Medford. Oregon.

much and much of the food is
definitely bad for them.
"What is the best food?"
"Naturally, that varies with
the species. But the closer the
food comes to the natural food
in their own habitat, the better.
You noticed the deer, didn't
you?" asked Dr. Poulsen. "They
love to eat tips and shoots of
birch trees."
"What would you say would
be the best diet for home-grown
pets?"
"Again, it should approximate
as closely as possible the natural
foods the animals would eat
normally.
"For example a friend of
mine, when he goes into the
woods always takes with him a
shopping bag and brings back
berries, acorns, pine cones, stag
horn lichens whatever is na
tural and handy. But as for me,
I like to carry apples, raisins,
peanuts, carrots and flower seeds
for the animals. Each of these
is good, in moderation, for the
right animal."
"Y o u mentioned harmful
foods," I said directing the ques
tion at Dr. Paulsen.
Vary with Each Animal
"Yes, there are many. But
they vary witiueach animal. But
really, most processed food is
bad, including candy, chocolate
cookies, and bread. In a wild
stomach, they simply don't seem
to digest properly. And no un
cooked food. That swells in their
stomachs and may cause death."
"While walking among your
animals, I noticed that you kept
up a steady flow of conversation
and no nonsense mixed with
It," I told Mr. Andersen.
"Yes, I talk a great deal with
my animals to reassure them
and I talk sense because I think
it gets the best response. I am
not suggesting," he hastened to
explain, "that animals under
stand words. They don't. But
from the words, I think they can
determine the tone, and the
tone if it is within the particu
lar animal's range of hearing
is comprehensible."
"I noticed that you moved
slowly."
"Yes," said Mr. Andersen,
"movements around animals
should always be slow and re
laxed. You'll notice I stroll I
don't stride. I also try to avoid
moving my hands quickly. For
example, if I were to slap a mos
quito, that would alarm them.
If I'd brush the dust off my
trousers, like this, particularly
with small animals, or even with
big ones, the fast motion would
alarm them." . I
"Then, basically, there is a
technique in handling pets
which helps keep animals
healthy, besides, proper diet,
cleanliness ..."
"No, I don't just mean a glib
technique," replied Dr. Poulsen.
"I mean, some people have an
inborn kindness with animals. I
think it lies within oneself: you,
yourself, must have a certain
feeling about animals. To a little
extent perhaps it can be culti
vated. But the main thing is to
give the animal a feeling of
sureness, of safety. And I think
our animals reflect that . . ."
