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.
