In discussing these in- dustrial hospitals, the say that it may be “laid down almost invariable rule that cal results from such hospitals, where they are properly administered, are distinctly to the advantage of the employes. Indeed, in certain large pants, those cases of infection which are so frequent as affecting the gen- eral run of employes, are practically unknown,” adding that the danger is “that a physician will not be called in every case where his services aro needed.”” The most satisfactory re- sults “are found in those plants whera there is a well hospital with conscientious trained nurses and possibly an orderly in at- tendance, the hospital being visitea daily, or oftener, by one or more rep- utable surgeons in general practice in the community.” Regarding the Physicians. Physicians receive considerable at- tention. The sa-called “‘contract doo- | tor,” who is employed on a salary by | insurance companies or large em- plovers, comes in for his share. So, too, do those physicians, who habit- ually, either by a private ment as to fees or far any other rea- i son, treat practically all of the cases [ of certain employers or insurance compani The commissioners point out that, “aside from an almost u ! avoidable desire to stand by his em- | plover, such a physician deals almost whally with traunfa, and fails of that | broader viewpoint which the study, diagnosis and treatment of | disorders as such, and independent ot | their source. He is apt to be unduly | suspicious of the motives of injured workmen. Furthermore, he is es- pecially prone to disregard thase symptoms which, although they are subjective, are none the less real.” They also issue a warning that “o1e of the besetting sins of physicians and surgeons, and often of practitioners of very high standiag, is to slip uncon- sciously into the rale of advocate.” On the whole, however, greater dangers would result of physicians entirely by the workmen, as less skillful and entious physic on the average would be secured in that way. In order “to mitigate what seems to be an un- { due harshness in the two important amendments are rec- ommended. One of these provides that where an employer has nezlected to provide a physician and the worlk man has gone and secured his own, the employer cannot come in and o as an injured consei- ans | the commissioner. to the commissioner in all right to order a change of doctors for go0od cause shown for The other gives Doctors, The discussion the relation of physicians to the act ends with the re- assuring statement that “it is a pleas- ure to report that the code of ethics which the medical profession has de- veloped through a long series of years has amely vindicated itself in the op- eration of the act, and not a little ot the success of this piece of legis] tion has been due to the skill and high | sense of honor of the physicians and surgeons who have aided the commis- sioners in applying the law.” Under the general caption, “Somo Points Set at Rest,” there is an expla- nation of the leading decisions of the supreme court, interpretinz the act, handed down during the period cov- ered by the report, the most important of which from a practical point of view is Franko vs. Willlam Schollhorn company, decided in April of the cur- rent yvear, under which a workman, {'who has lost a finger or a leg may, in addition to the specific number ot weeks allowable for such loss, also collect compensation for the period of total incapacity which may have pre- ceded such loss.
