Many Of Far Away
Them Remain
Remember the "goad old family doctor"! You’re
showing your age if you do, for there aren’t many left
One who remembers, and laments, U a doctor hlm-
•elf. The
f general practitioner, writes Leon H. Dembo,
MD., in "Cleveland Physician,” the bulletin of the
Cleveland Academy of Medicine, is rapidly becoming
the forgotten man of medicine.
The GP was the kind, sympathetic, conscientious
medic who sat at a patient's bedside, asked a few ques-
tions, used his eyes, ears, hands and brain, and invaria-
bly came up with a correct diagnosis, Idealizes Dembo.
His treatment was simple but effective. He knew
nothing of pretense or synthetic bedside manner. He
made house calls any time of the day or night and never
was too busy to have a short chat with the family. He
was, in brief, a doctor, friend, tether-confessor and ad-
viser.
He didn’t need a dozen laboratory tests to make a
diagnosis, and when he sent a patient to the hospital,
"you can bet your Aunt Nellie's pajamas that the pa-
tient was seriously ill.” In those days, when the spec-
ialist was called in, the patient most likely had one
foot inside the Pearly Gates.
Yean ago, a doctor had 25 to 30 years of genere!
practice behind him before he became a specialist, says
Dembo. Today, medical graduates take a year of in-
ternship, one or two years of residency In some special
field and emerge as specialists.
“Young Doctor X, during his residency at a uni-
versity hospital, engages in a research project (with a
grant of $100,000 or more) on the home lire of the kidney
glomeruli.
“Cognizant of the ’publish-or-perish’ edict, he also
writes papers - important papers - such as: The Rate
of Heat Radiation in Pregnant Chipmunks’ or The Ba-
sal Metabolism of Honda Riders.’ These are published
in Journals specializing in 40-page bombastic articles
which are ' ‘
are highly successful in befuddling the readers
and adding to the sum total of medical confusion."
Now medicine is deep in specialists. We have ob-
stetricians, gynecologists, internists, laryngologists,
otologists, proctologists, allergists, optholmologists, psy-
chiatrists, neurologists, pediatricians, etc., etc.
Even tM specialties are split into sub-groups, so

AMorlaiad Preaa Writer
SAIGON IAP) - Th* feeling
In tome high official circle#
here to that during the put 18
months -the prospects have
dimmed considerably tor an
early negotiated peace that
would bar the Communists from
eventually taking over South
Vietnam.
Some of the key factors be-
hind this belief are the hard-
pressed allied military position
in the northern provinces, what
Hanoi believe* it growing anti-
war sentiment in America, and
pressure from foreign govern-
ments for a halt in the air war
against North Vietnam
One senior allied eourae said::
"Let's face It. I! we negotiated
today, at best we could expect
half a melon. It would have to
be something like Laos."
The UG Geneva accords
brought Communists Into the
Laotian government and left the
Communist ,‘leld army Intact to-
gether with a large North Viet-
namese military force in the
country. UA troops were pulled
out
Many diplomats believe the
Communists have stopped short
of a takeover in Laos in hopes of
pushing the United States into a
similar agreement In Vietnam.
It Is generally accepted here
that North Vietnam could easily
force the allies Into peace nego-
tiations today with the anti-
communist side it a decided
disadvantage. All Hanoi would
have to do is agree to talk,
American officials say. Why Ha-
noi has failed to do this is the
subject of much debate and con-
jecture.
One argument Is that Hanoi
increasingly has fallen tinder
the influence of pro-Peking
hawks who are pressing for a
clear military victory before M» ■
gotiations Another is that Hanoi

cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, etc. etc.
We’re not far from the point, thinks Dembo, when
there will be “dextral” eye specialists who treat only dis-
eases of the right eye and “sinistral” opthalmologists
who take care of left eyes. Or orthopedists who special-
size in fractures of the arms, others who limit them-
selves to fractures of the legs.
The doctor exaggerates, of course, to make a point.
No one would want to give up the medical advances of
the past 50 years in exchange for a return of the “good
old family doctor,” no matter how kind, sympathetic
and willing to be put-upon he was.
What will happen'to the family doctor? asks Dem-
bo. Either he’ll become as extinct as the dodo bird or
remain in business, as a cartoon In a recent medical pub-
lication suggested:
It showed a specialist at the bedside of a patient.
The caption read: “I and my. other consultants would
like your permission to call in a general practitioner."
Who knows? - general practice may be the coming
specialty.

Mindful of bitter allied experi-

once advised President Johnaon

"The only way to negotiate

said an American who was at

Another factor behind the
thinking here is the belief that
Ho Chi Mlnh or whoever is in
control at Hanoi will wait until
after the 1968 presidential elec-
tion in the United States to talk
peace.
ly. government advisory
mlttees are becoming a shadowy
branch of government exercis-
ing great powers, largely urv
scrutinized and unaccountable to
(he taxpayers. ''
There are literally hundreds
of advisory committees through-
out the government, many of
' them populated with representa-
tives of the special interests..
Through these committees, food
processors help make policy for
farmers, and producers recom-
mended government action on
behalf of consumers.
Ail loo often the "advisory
committee’s chief contribution is
to provide the government agen-
cy with an excuse to avoid aoiv-
in„ painful problems. The mm
cy simply turns the
over to the appropriate com-
mittee to study, then waits Inter-
minably tor recommendations
which can be blamed on out-
side advisors.
In this way, the advisory com-
mittee takes the heat off the
government officials, who can
draw their pay with a minimum
of responsibility!
Om of the best example* of
how erosive an advisory com-
mittee can be is the Advisory
Committee on Traffic Safety,
which has been shaping policy
for the Health, Education, and
Welfare Department. The com-
mittee is headed by Daniel P.
Moynihan, able Director of Ur-
ban Studies at Harvard.
The most Influential rnember
is Moynihan’s dose peraonal
iriend, Dr. William Haddon Jr.,
who is Director of Traffic Sato-
ty at the Transportation Depart-
ment.. Thua the head of a com-
peting agency, the Transporta-

Mills accepted enough of tt* ^

statement of prindptea: Aa tt*

should be returned to tt* pri-

major guarantor of pro*parity.
Th* 1964 tax reduction Is gen-
erally considered an economic
smash success. A sluggish econ-

rates went down, tax revenue
