A Doctor for You: What's being done to give you the best
- Chicago, Illinois: American Medical Association, 1950
Chicago, Illinois: American Medical Association, 1950. Very good. Light toning, dust soiling.. A promotional booklet for the American Medical Association, published for and distributed to American families in order to highlight the importance of professional medical care for all ages. Explains how the American Medical Association ensures the profession keeps high standards for all doctors in order to make the U.S. "the healthiest large nation in the world". Highlights leaps in innovation, scientific research, and a growing medical workforce. An interesting look into how medical professionals were revered at this time as leaders. Single vol. A generation ago a physician spent only about 30 percent of his working hours actually doctoring. Today a physician spends approximately 90 percent of his time treating patients. How is this possible? First of all, when the physician makes a house call, today's paved roads and speedy cars cut his travel time, leave him more doctoring time...A different time.
