Thunday, January 5, 1958 The Medical Roundup We Physicians Should Be More Friendly With Patients Much of the happiness that has come to me in my 50 years of thp nractice of medicine has come because of warm friendships it brought me. T li a n - n o X il shares anxie ties with a fel low human being, one tends to come very close emotionally to tnat person and his family. Ev ery Christmas I get scores of let ters from old patients, a few of them from my San Francisco days, 30 years and more ago. Oftentimes, as I read one of these kindly letters, my mind flashes back, perhaps to a night when I sat beside a bed, hoping, hoping I could find some treat ment that would stop an import ant life from ebbing away. Often it is so' easy to make a dear friend of a patient that I feel sorry that so many of my medical and surgical brethren miss this joy. It doesn't take much time to stop and say a kind or a cheering word, or to respond to a person's feelers toward a better acquaintance and some friendship. Some of my surgical friends say to me with annoyance: "My patients pay me for an operation; not for chatting with them." But I am sure that the stand they take not only robs them of a much richer life it accounts for much of the bad feeling that has come up between us physicians and the public. Wasn't Grateful I remember reading in the au tobiography of a famous sur geon, that when wounded in France in World War I, he was so skilfully treated by an army doctor that, he felt that for the rest of his days, he ought to be grateful to the fellow, but he wasn't. He always remembered that doctor with ' great dislike. Why? Because -the doctor left him with the feeling that was an inanimate object whose pain, anxiety, great homesickness, and fear of future disablement or death were of no interest whatsoever. A few words of kindness and encouragement Russia To Build Nuclear Reactor in Yugoslavia Belgrade, Yugoslavia (U.R) Soviet Russia has agreed to build an experimental nuclear reactor in Yugoslavia under an atomic cooperation deal negotiated in Moscow, it has been announced. The official Yugoslav Tanjug news agency issued a commun ique which said that the two countries, negotiated a joint agreement on an atomic devel opment program. Columbus, O. (U.R) Gov. Frank J. Lausche says the state would step into the labor dispute at the Westinghouse Electric Corp. "if necessary" to main tain law and order.

The Army doctor might have spent an extra 30 seconds grip ping the injured man to him as a devoted friend, but he would not or perhaps could not do it. Many a-time I have heard a patient say, "I know I owe my life to my surgeon but to the end of my days I will dislike him because, one night when in the great loneliness of my hos pital room, I reached out for a little human friendliness, he brushed me off discourteously and stalked out. He would not stop long enough even to tell me what, at the operation, he had found and done, and what were my chances of being well again.", It's the honest truth that for 1 5c you can buy a book called "How to build and fiy an airplane."
