. - t 2X MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Oregon. Monday. November 34, 1958 Physicians Warned To Insert Humility In Patient Care By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-OD-In this day of wonderful scientific know how physicians can become l?XT so enrapturea wun incir k n o w 1 e dge of dis e a s e s and of fancy medicat ions with which to cure them, uiai iney lor- I i get tneir pa - i tients are hu- Dciei smitb man beings. Thus spoke Dr. David Wool folk Barrow of the Kaiser Foundation Hospital, San Francisco, in lecturing his fel lows on the values of humil ity and the human touch in the practice of a highly scien tific medicine. . "The human body has . a prodigious capacity for recov ery," he ' told them. "This, added to the self-limited na ture of many diseases, means that almost any therapeutic regime -in fact none at all -will often eventuate in the pa tient's recovery." Beware of Drugs As a matter of fact, he con tinued, there is "a real dan ger in the administration of some generally harmless agent (drug) alleged to short en morbidity or prevent com plications to whicn any spe cific patient may be unduly sensitive." He cited some of the grave "side effects" which can be caused by some of medical science's potent new drugs in the "unduly sensitive," and added: "The number of such tragedies is small, but if the agent is not really needed, why use any? When the pa tient's comfort is the sole con sideration, simple medications suffice." Scientific doctors were also warned against "the little joke." It is all very well to put patients at their ease with a joke, but jokes go astray. "Interest, concern and kindli ness can all be expressed with some formality and are then less apt to be misinterpreted," he said. Enlighten Patient He took no positive stand on the question of what a doctor should tell a patient about the patient's condition. "Where the disease is a simple one and the patient's reason able co-operation can be an ticipated, it doesn't make very much difference what the pa tient is told - except that every patient likes to be told something," he said. "When relief of the condi tion requires the patient's, co operation, it is impossible to know whether this can be obtained better by a detailed explanation of the disease and all its complications, or by a direct order." But when any patient re fuses treatment for a condi tion that could be fatal with out treatment, that patient "should be told the truth as the physician believes it to be." And the doctor should keep after him until he does accept treatment, and "not leave him derelict." 118 - tri'r-TTTm-- ' "' fc" IIMIMII Hill I Mill I Look - Seven Santas Court Records DISTRICT COURT Gerald G.
