Payment for Pediatric Care

I, and I am sure there were many others, was so happy to see Doctor Brad Cohn's letter published in Pediatrics (December, 1962, p. 1012). So much space has been given to promotion of the idea that physicians should charge other colleagues and their families for medical services that I am afraid there are those who feel that doctors in general hold this attitude. On the other hand, those who render courtesy services to medical families apparently seldom take pen in hand, for I am sure that the practice is a customary one rather than the exception. To do otherwise would be unthinkable to me, and I am sure that most physicians are of the same opinion.
