Editor Press and Standard; These seems to be no subject claiming much attention just now as the Colleton Medical Association and I feet it my duty to my community to contribute my mite to the discussion. I approach this subject with some misgiving less 1 should let fall eome word to wound a friend, for some of ray best friends are identified with this movement In a recent affliction in my home I was the recipient of kindnesseas at the bands of the doc tors, of which I would be unworthy if I should forget or ignore them. And he who chargee me with in- gratitnde misjudges my motive in this discussion. .* This medical combine is more for reaching than many ef as are aware of. In the reoent session of the legis lature there woe a bill introduced and fought to a finish to forbid any person from giving a dose of tnedi cine or performing any set to alleviate pain who does not hold a certificate from the state medioal examining board. - This bill was i surprise to me for t bad thought of doctors os a class of sympathetic gentlemen, kb* ware el- wavs aaxioas to have so String re lieved by any possible means, whether a bill ia it for as or But I consoled myself with the thought that our Colleton doctors were not made of that kind of stuff. (This bill was passed by the bouse and was killed in the senate where there were not ao many doctors.) But, imagine my dismay where 1 came home to find that our own Colleton doctors had formed a trust and had combined against the people who have honored them and oonfided their all into their hands. When we call a physician we take him into our confidence, we entrust with/him. the lives of our family, we admit him to the sacred privaof of the home. And if I were a doctor 1 would lay down my profession and go to plowing rather than 1 would betray the confidence and say to my patrons “I have no interest in you or your suffering family any farther than your money goes.” Surely men of this stamp can rise above suoh a standard. X have always bad muoh the same feeling to my family pbyoician that i nave had to my pastor, the one the guardian of my spiritual interest, the other of hay physical. But now we are brought to think of the doctor who oomee into our bb«s lost as wa would of a Jew peddler or a lightning rod agent who might drop ia, 4, Hefe ia my service* provided you have the money.” When I am not able to pay all my bills, my doctor and my pastor are preferred creditors. If all other credi tors have to wait these must be paid. Bat what now? I send for th^ doctor and he oomee one time and when ha ia sh< B t tn be says “Fork your months wages now.” doctor, suppose I aesd you before I get my next wigs* “That's oil right iuU tough it out uatil yon get it and then send for me.", Well doctor if my wife should continue to be ill I will have to send for another doctor, “Very well send for another bat let me assure you he will not come un less I say sr.” This conversation is imaginary of course, but it is not over drawn for the association bear it out. No gentlemen of this profession, we did not think it of you^ but if you think it is right and just and fair, go your route. But we wiU look out for ourstlves. J B D. DR. Es’DORN WRITES.
