add to cart   close window

The article focuses on prevalent shortage of doctors in the United States as of March 1961. Since 1938, warnings have been sounded about the approaching shortage of doctors. For a long time, organized medicine denied that there was, or would be, a shortage. Two years ago, the Public Health Service published its Health Manpower Source Book, confirming what had been obvious to most people for at least ten years that the country is not turning out doctors at a rate equal to our population growth rate.
