Doctors Should Tell About Patients, Says Medico
(11 a.m.) LONDON, April 7. A plea that doctors should be allowed to criticise the conduct of their patients under the national health service is made by Dr. Charles Hill, secretary-general of the British Medical Association in the British Medical Journal.
“In this modern age when so much stress is laid on equality of treatment, it would appear reasonable that as the doctor, under the risk of penalties, lias to observe rules, so the patient, also under the risk ,of penalties, should be similarly required to observe rules to govern his conduct in relation to the doctor,” savs Dr. Hill.
