Lesson 28-1 Patients and doctors
This is a skeptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our
forefathers fervently believed has weakened, our confidence in the curative properties
of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs. This modern faith in medicines is
proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of the Health Services is mounting to
astronomical figures and shows no signs at present of ceasing to rise. The majority of
the patients attending the medical out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that
they have not received adequate treatment unless they are able to carry home with them
some tangible remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar
of ointment, and the doctor in charge of the department is only too ready to provide
them with these requirements.
