Mr. Clare has servéd on the There are a few crooks and a'few qGces, but every doc- tor I've ever had dealings with was a credit to the profes- sion. Let's have fair play for our doctors, as well as fair pay. And all along the way he is dealing constantly with pain and misery and fear among his patients. No bed of roses, that. Not to mention all the neurotic women and hypo- chondriacal men he must suffer patiently. About the time most men are slowing down or looking forward to retirement, the doctor is burned out. How many old doctors do you know? By the time he has established a practice, he is usually well in debt. If his practice flourishes, he works like a dog for 20 or 30 years. During this period, he is making a good income. But his family life. his social life and his cultural life suffer deeply. He works hours that would have a union leader screaming bloody murder. His scanty leisure time is constantly interrupted. The only pension he can look forward to is what he can save or invest for himself. Let's look at the facts. A doctor works like a dog to get through medical school. He doesn't really begin to make any money until he is nearing 30, a time when most men are well settled in their fields. Sure, there are a few rotten apples in the barrel, to whom the Hippocratic oath is merely a licence to get rich. Couldn't the same be said about any other barrel, whether it contains union members, merchants, politicians, or preachers? And as for big business, the doctors are almost saintly when it comes to a comparison of ethics. (Continued from lee, T) Sure, doctors m e a lot of money, most of them. But I don't envy them. I wouldn't be a doctor for three times the averagesalary in the medical profession.
