TJ Hypher
Extract
. . . I would submit that those who have the courage to stand by their convictions against substantial pressures will be among our most highly principled colleagues. We cannot afford to be without them, and indeed they and both our profession and our patients require that you give them your strongest support. You may not agree with their opinions, but if you do not champion their principles then we shall be in a sorry plight when each subsequent wave of emotion effects an Act in some kindred field.
