Doctors In Russia.

Dr. Ralph Thompson, In Medical Europe, states that “In Russia nobody ever asks a physician the amount of his bill. It is universally understood that a gentleman pays his doctor a fair sum—such a sum as be can afford to pay within the limits of his income and his sense of generosity. The Russian mind cannot conceive how a man engaged In the holy pursuit of saving life and alleviating suffering can put a price on his services.” After this it is not surprising to learn from the sume authority that Russia is the only European country of importance where the medical profession is not overcrowded.
