Negroes and Medicine

E. PERRY CRUMP M.D.

The present position of the Negro physician in American medicine is by no means fortuitous, nor is it the result of timely official decree. Historically, the Negro doctor has faced the same rugged pattern of uphill struggle for initial training opportunities, for hospital staff privileges in the care and follow-up of his patients, and for recognition by and integrainto the major medical society (A.M.A.) in this county, as has his lay counterpart in analogous nonmedical settings.

In a well arranged, highly authentic book of some 400 pages, Dietrich C. Reitzes tells the story under the title, Negroes and Medicine.
