But by all that it fair, let the doctor come with in the scope of his patient’s means. “Live and let live” should be the motto of the doctors. If the doctors would be fair to their petienta, they would consider each care op its own merits, with respect to their fees. In other words, if Mr A has an income of 96 per day and Mr B has an income of 60 cents per day will the doctor charge the 60 cm; man ss much as the 96 man? I am quite sme that if the doctor would stop and meditate just a meutent he would see that he eoald make a difference as to the v above without discrimination.
