Extract
Salaried physicians equal incompetent doctors? Certainly not! Quality medical care depends on a practitioner’s conscience, not the compensation method. . . One acquires professional ethics and satisfaction in one’s work. These things can also be lost, however. Whether the physician charges a fee for service or whether he is salaried, it is his professional conscience that remains his guide, his religion, his motto. . .
