‘Grievances’ |

*Stafe Group Reports On Year's Operation |

Hoosier physicians have made it ‘easy for a disgruntled patient

to register his gripe. | a

Not that a doctor wants some-| one blowing the whistle on him —not at all. But the medidal men as a state-wide body want Indiana to be satisfied with their work. | As a consequence, the Commit-/ tee on Physician-Patient Rela-|§ tions of the Indiana. Medical As- § sociation is reporting on its first full year of operation. Dr. C. S. Black, Warren, reports the committee received 54

written complaints in 1950, most H

concerning the size of fees.

Five Reduced Fees In five cases, reduced fees were arranged by the doctor against whom the complaint was made. Two doctors ‘gave information previously withheld from the patient. One patient was satisfied that the fee was warranted. One was satisfied that his doctor had not been tardy in making a house call. Thirty complaints were adjudged too general or of evidence insufficient to require committee action. Of the remaining 15, seven physicians were upheld against com-

county medical societ.es for disciplinary action and six cases are pending. One of First One of the first medical associations in the United States to create a “grievance committee” the Indiana group “is trying to give the people of Indiana good medical care at equitable fees,” Dr. Black said.

“If patients are dissatisfied, we $3

want to know it,” he asserted.

His statement was echoed by »

Ray Smith, association executive segretary, “Doctors hate to have someone write in about their work or fees,” sald Mr. Smith. “They are sensitive to criticism.” Adjust Differences This sensitivity usually develops into a willingness to meet with the patient in an effort at adjustment of the difference, Mr. Smith continued. The committee's work consists in the main of investigating cases brought to their attention and carrving on a campaign of “persuasion and education” of thn public. County medical societies have similar committees which can and do preside over many disputes which never reach the state level.
