From the November, 1919, issue of The Health Bulletin, published by
the North Carolina State Board of Health.
As a rule we pay no attention to knocking, seldom ever read
the lambastings we get, and never worry about it. But the following little
extract from a letter received just before going to press is interesting enough
to pass on:
“I want to tell you about a specialist in this State
‘knocking’ State work while operating on patients who were found and examined
by the State School Nurse and who persuaded them to have the operation done.
They paid $40 apiece, besides railroad fare, a little over 100 miles, hotel
bills, etc.”
In the first place this specialist is lonesome, and in the
second “there’s a reason” for his knocks, and the reason would be very
interesting to all the general practitioners of medicine and most of the people
in his section.
