THE UNMET NEEDS OF CHILDREN

WILLIAM H. STEWART M.D.1

1 Surgeon General, Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare

IT IS a real pleasure for me to be discussing pediatrics with pediatricians. More than any other group, you share my educational background and my earliest dedication as a physician. And, although my period of actual pediatric practice was rather brief, I feel that I share with you a basic orientation and a store of common experiences.

Reading through some of the recent periodical literature in our field, I have been impressed with a growing sense of professional restlessness. One article used the phrase "unhappy pediatrician syndrome"—partly but not entirely in jest.

I confess that I am not altogether unhappy with this kind of unhappiness.
