Shortage of Physicians in Small . Towns Is Serious. Neglected Communities ‘Are Making Inducements to Medical Graduates to Come and Practice for Them—Remedy for Shortage Is Seen in Plan to Have States Develop Some Organization for the Medical Service . for Small Towns. .

- Small towns and rural districts in all parts of the country are worried over a shortage which the city dweller can scarcely comprehend. This is the shortage of doctors. . ; In the cities and large industrial towns about every square has a doctor’s sign. Whole office bulldings are given over to medical men. And If you still doubted that doctors constitute a fair quota of the population, a glance at a classified city directory would show you exactly how many columns of doctors stand ready to tide you over any attack of germs, writes Frederic J, Haskin ‘in the Chicago News. , . But go out in the country, or even to a remote town, and you might have to send 25 miles or more for a doctor in ease of am emergeney. And there would ‘be no ambulance to take you to a hospital on short notice. ' This is a difficulty so serious that the neglected communities are trying to do something about it. It is widely advertised that in Massachusetts doctorless towns are offering bonuses to young medical graduates to come to practice for them. Similar inducements are held out in other states. In some cases a house has been offered to the doctor, a weighty argument in a time When houses are, if anything, more scarce than country doctors. - In almost evory case noted the community seems to be able to assure the physician that he will have plenty to do and that he should make $2,000 or more a year. 5 : Some of the doctorless towns have

conducted their drive for doctors with success. Others are still hunting. It generally takes more than a house and a prospect of $2,000 a year to lure a doctor to the country nowadays. Doctors Hard to Make. The fact is, it costs so much money, time and work to become a doctor now that the graduate feels that he deserves a large reward. It is net go long since two years was the length of the. medical course and a high school diploma was not always required of the medical student. From that point, the medical colleges have been steadily raising their standards until now a fidst class university demands either an A. B. degree before the student can begin his medicalcourse, or, as is more generally the case, two years of pre-medical college work is required. This gives the student Latin, chemistry, biology and other regular college subjects which will lay the best foundation for medical work. - 7 ‘

- The medical coursé which follows this college preparation is four years, and after that the doctor very often spends two years as an interne in a hospital. The graduate is therefore 25 years old, at least, before he can begin his career. He represents an investment of $4,600, Columbia university figures. About $1,200 of this he has pald in tuitien and the rest the college has estimated. i

Every branch of medicine constantly shows more problems to be solved by men who can give some time to reseafch. Then there is a demand for even more expert service than the graduate practitioner can give, and so the young doctor often combines practice with further study to become a specialist. Neither of these lines of work leads him far afield. He stays close to his university or goes to some other city where opportunities for study may be even more desirable. Majority Cling to City. - : Even if he decided to be a general practitioner, the graduate doctor still clings to the city. In the city he has the benefit of consultation with other doctors. There are medical socleties, hospitals, clinics and libraries where he can keep in touch with progress. In a rural district, unless it is near a city, he must forego thege advantages, and there is added the fuyther trouble of transportation difficulties. It costs around 10 cents a mile to run an ordinary car on a good road, 15 cents on a poor road. At this rate a doctor who is called to a home five miles out has to spend a dollar to get there and back. And five miles is accounted a short distance in the country.

. To make such visits takes iip a good deal of the doctor’s time. ‘Usually he discounts this loss. But he does add a charge for distance to his fee when he has to travel beyond certain fixed limits. This makes the fee higher than it would be in a ecity, and may cut down his income in the long run because patients can afford to send for a doctor only in an extremity, Mostly, though, the small town or country doctor has all the practice he can handle. Even with the charge for distance upon the patient, some doctors are refusing to make long trips in maternity cases or for anything except a sérious emergercy, Al of the facts of town and country practice are well known to the medical student long before he gets

his degree. .Urless he Is strongly attracted by the possibilities for service in country practice, and unless he is impressed by the vital need for doctors there, the student decides for city work. ' _ . The result is that the uneven competition for doctors between the big city and the small town has been growing more uneven as medicine progresses to greater skill and specialization. The small towns are trying to counteract this tendency by making life. easier- for the neighborhood doctor. This works in some cases, but it seems probable that organized action will have to be taken eventually. : State’s Ald Asked. d ~ The plan most generally proposed as a remedy for the shortage of small town -doctors is to have the states develop some organization for the medical service. Dr. B. 8, Warren of the public health service has stated that “for one item—drugs—the United States spends $500,000,000 a year. This sum alone, if properly expended would buy all necessary drugs and add $2,000 a year to the income of each of the 125,000 physicians in active practice in the United States.”

‘Dr. Warren says that the people of the country are paying out money sufficient for the maintenance of an adequate medical service, but fail to receive It because the money Is spent in such . @ haphazard manner. - :

“With proper organization, distribution and training of the medical and sanitary personnel of "the country, and with a proper expenditure of the funds now being spent for medical purposes, there would be available to every person adequate medical and. hospital services and supplies.” Bills' providing for various degrees of staté supervision of medical service have been suggested to state .legislatures. It has been proposed that there might be a health officer for each district in a state who could in case of emergency, be called into homes as a physician. Another way of attacking the problem is found in a health insurance system under state management, such as Euyropean countries have. An organization of this kind, while not primarily for that purpose, might be able to mobilize part of the medical personnel and supply rural districts with medical attention, i : To what extent a state or the federal government could help matters would depend on the appropriation avallable and the authority given to officials. It might pay a state to educate some doctors om-scholarships with the understanding that they would take rural posts for a certain length of time after graduation. The details could be arranged if the states took a hand. The question is: - Will it be necessary for the government to add this responsibility to its collection of duties or can the doctorless districts devise ways to make the country so attr:ctive a field for service that it can compete with the advantages of the city?

NEGRO BOSSES LEOPARD Beast Is Monarch of Baggage Car Until Jim Takes Command.

LIQUOR WAS PIPED Vice Squad Find a Strange Way of : Producing Drinks. When the Akron (0.) vice squad raided ‘a South Akron soft drink parlor one day they found what is sald | to be one of the most ingenious and most complicated “blind tigers” ever unearthed in Akron. The unique contraption was discovered when presumably a water spigot back of the counter suddenly fissued’ forth odorous amber fluid when one of the officers turned the valve. The vice squad traced the liquor to its' source. They found a large can built | into a hot alr pipe ‘on the second floor of the building. - Connected to it was & rubber hose running down the pipe and*between the walls and connecting with the splgot after taking a eircuitous and secluded course. i Police had searched the establish- - ment before but had failed to find the- - tap.
