Last week the . doctor of yes- terday was- sketched in. NOW let us take a look at the chang- ed face of the medical profes- sion today, and since we, here in Canada, are pawns in a fed- eral -provincial contest to • pro- vide medicare, it may be in- structive to look at the situation in England, where nationalized medecine has been in vogue the longest. The thin end of the political wedge was the .nationalization of education. Then it dawned on tthe politicos that they could buy extended terms in power by tak- ing even greater "care" of the populace. The next step 'was the nationalization of the pro- fession of medicine. In the same oarefree way in which all com- mittees take the biggest deci- Mon:s, the pf,liticians counted neither the rost nor the con- sequences. They opined that an art could be 'turned into a sta- tistic. That medicine could be administered on . a collective basis. That a profession of a thousand personal nuances could be generalized.. They ignored the fact that there was once a time when the doctorhad time to become a friend to his patients and they proceeded to remove the very keynel of the doctor -patient association. This fever to spend in order to retain power soon brought the' polititians face to..face with a disease called inflation, or the debasement of the current y, a disease with which no realis- tic effort.has been madeto cope. Inflation nolo placed the ma - bhp ercgrlta-tar', trsday,' June IPS terial aspect of na&licine that is, ihos dials .anent drugs , P , equipment, and, in lesser degree personnei,. 0 . an ever escalating cost. Since the politicians had already thad success in, screwing down the landlords•, who were not a11'aw ed to raise- rents, there was a complacent feeling that the doctors, whose first name was dedication, could be kept in financial cheek. One of the ugliest .spawnings of inflation has been the peren- nial "strike." The teaching pro- fession, once, equally with medicine, one of those most cotn- cerned with personalities, was forced to unionize and to strike in order to exist. 1Vfedicine had, fpr many years, been organized r to associations, designed pri- marily to ensure the standard of professional ability. Now they became unions and included the strike weapon in their armories. Thus was the noblest profession in the service of mankind emasculated. The Committees What ngtgravated the situation in England was that all ,the high pressure investigations; Beve- ridge, Spens" in 1948 and Wil - link in 1955 to 1957, all these committees laughably beltieved, that a "Health Service" would make thf country healthier and decrease the demand for ser- vices, In consequence they argued it was unnecessary to plan ahead, because in a couple of decades hospitals would be clos- ing for lack. of business.

An anonymous doctor writin-* in the "Manchester Guardian" says that three of his colleague '413d 4 had fallen asleep at tior or exanalining patients. A-younr friend started 'his first hon job and being a junior was im- mediately on duty from 6 par on Thursday to 9 p.m. on Tue-- day.

The Internes The situation, wi kin national- ization has produced in England as regards students is this: While there are five applicants for every university vacancy in medicine, it is three tinies harder to get a place in a medi- cal school than in a science .course, Why this rush of candi- dates? So that as soon as they ;have served their time under the near penal conditions of a, British teaching hospital, they can emigrate. Last year 900 did just this. The British Medical Association says "the number is going up by leaps and bounds." Whatthen are the conditions of service? Last year the BMA found that the average interne worked 68 hours a week with something in his hand; was on call, eating, sleeping or study- ing for 51 hours a week; was free to leave the hospital for 49 hours a week. At one .London teaching hospital, assuming quite erroneously he had eight hours steep a might, an interne was left with two hours and 10 mitnut s each day of the week to call his own. So the mast dramatic of the junior doctor.' complaints is the heturs they have to work. For those who. remain in England few can become consultants be- fore age 40, while at 50, owing to the constant advanrces in the retraining rini tai ng is necessary. _ As -a result, today 42 -per cent. of the junior hospital staff is foreign—Indians and Pakistanis. Yes, there is some racial feel- ing, except in one Lancashire cided by the government. There are 3,332 senior house officers who receive $3,585 per annum, 'which has just been raised to $4,350 per annum. For this "90 - hour work week the senior houseman now earns 87• ,cents an hour. The Hospitals, On the matter of hospitals., hear --the duty registrar of a Manchester hospital: "T h e y spend thousands on unesssential' bits of the hospital building; but a mere $3,000 for monitoring gear to easethe burden of doctor and nurse is sohsidered unnecessary.
