Re-insure Life N endowment | Washington CITY HAS SERVICES OF 1,200 DOGTORS Some Listed Physicians Are on Federal Roll, However, and Rarely Practice. Washington, as big cities go, must be fairly health: True, its population is sufeientls ailing to give 1,200 physictans an ex- cuse for.living here. That is the Yatest estimate of the District Health Department of the number of doctors of medicine who actually are available for service in the city. But the population of Washingten Is approximately 560,000 so that real- ly it requires nearly 500 men, women and children to make up the practice of a single physician. Actually there are 2,700 doctors registered in the city, hut this includes a great manv who simply take the examination here and then transfer to some other locality. < In addition there are 40 osteopaths 166 chiropractors and 43 Christian Science practitioners laboring to keep Washingtonians in good health. Some Federal Employes. As a matter of fact. it was esi- mated at the health office, the actua! practice of many of the 1,200 doesn't amount to much. They are employed at various Government bureaus as scientific workers and have a very desultory private practice, if any at all. Probably each physiclan who de- votes his entire attention to his prac- tice has nearer 800 than 500 patients to draw on, if he gets his full share But the 1,200 are available in the event of any great epidemic. Many physicians of independen: me:ns, it was said, live in Washing- ton without m“fChl pretenlslz ct" prac- ticing because of the excellent oppor tunlgeg for research work afforded by the libraries and Government labora tories here. Small towns throughout the 8eu continually are appealing to the Dis- trict Medical Society to place hefore physicians of Washington the oppo: tunities afforded by a country prac tice without any competition, and some of them offer to make up a reg- ular salary for any competent doctor who will come to them. { The yearly income of the physicians who actually practice in Washington it was said, would not average movr than $:,000, although leaders of tie profession receive sums much greater than this. On the other hand, there are some, mostly starting practice, whose yearly income is very small The ranks of these are swelled ever: year by graduates of Georgetown and George Washington Medical 8chools. many of whom are loath to leavs and prefer to I against a crowded field rather than start practice somewhere else.
