Moire "one:; wrote l "Oui,

nous avons change'° tout tela!",
Which is &'reach for: Yes, it
used :to' be so, ' but we have
changed ala that.
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 -

terial aspect of na&licine that

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. Only
now is the underwater portion
of the iceberg beginning to
show itself, consisting, as it
does, of a vast sump of people

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-

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. We often have
