RESEARCH IN PRACTICE, including astute clinical observations of new clinical problems, analyses of series of patients, and clinical therapeutic trials, has been performed by physicians who must have been well aware of the demands and pressures of their professions. For example, Sir James MacKenzie, the famous British cardiologist, made most of his observations on cardiovascular physiology in his general practice. Closer to home both geographically and temporally, Harvey in Acton, Massachusetts, and Breese and Townsend in Rochester, New York, have demonstrated how high can be the value of data thus obtained. This type of research in individual practices should be encouraged.
