C Health reforms

D National medical system

E Family doctors

1. The National Health Service (NHS) provides com­prehensive medical care which is available to all residents, regardless of their income. The NHS is financed mainly out of general taxation. Some forms of treatment, such as hospital care, are provided free; others are charged for. People are free to choose their family doctor, dentist, optician and pharmacist, who have contracts with the NHS.

2. Family doctors provide the first diagnosis of an illness and either prescribe a suitable course of treatment or refer a patient for more specialised treatment elsewhere. About 80 per cent work in partnerships or group practices, often as members of primary health care teams.

3. Patients pay for medical prescriptions, although in prac­tice almost 80 per cent are supplied free, since charges do not apply to people on low incomes, children, expectant mothers, pensioners and other groups. Charges are made for dental treatment under the NHS, although people on low incomes receive free treatment, as do pregnant women, children and young people below the age of 18. NHS hospital treatment is free.

4. Under recent wide-ranging reforms in management and patient care, each health authority is funded to buy health care for its local residents through con­tracts with public or private hospitals. Hospitals may apply to become self-governing trusts, independent of health authority control, but remaining part of the NHS; they treat NHS patients and are funded largely through contracts with health authorities and with those family doctors who choose to become responsible for part of their own NHS budgets. Trusts may also treat private patients.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD DOCTOR?

After C. P. Lance

At one of the hospitals in a certain town there worked two young doctors. Let's call them Dr. P. and Dr. Q. They were very good friends — these doctors, P. and Q., and they had been good friends for a long time. They had studied at the same medical school under the same professors, and, what was even more important in strengthening their friendship, they had lived in the same room during their course of studies.

Now they worked at the same hospital and always dis­cussed what was most interesting to both of them — how to treat their patients.¹

Their approach to the problem was quite different, though they had studied under the same professors.

Dr. P. was for a thorough investigation of the patients' health and condition, for a set of thorough analyses before the patient's illness could be diagnosed. He was against chance taking any part in diagnosis.

As for Dr. Q., he said that a thorough investigation and sets of analyses were important, but could sometimes be wrong, and it was just as important for a doctor to use his talent, experience, and intuition when diagnosing a patient's illness, all the more so, since sometimes there was no time for a thorough investigation and analyses — something had to be done quickly to save the patient's life.

The nurses at the hospital thought Dr. P. to be a better doctor than his friend, for whatever he did, he always did it thoroughly. 'One feels sure with him,' they said. As for Dr. Q., some of the nurses thought that he took the treatment of his patients too lightly, because he sometimes diagnosed their illnesses at once, before making a thorough investiga­tion. It was true that he always diagnosed them correctly, but people thought that he was sometimes too quick in his decisions.

One day a worker was brought to the hospital. He had suddenly fallen ill at the plant where he worked. There hadn't been any accident. He had just fallen ill, and fallen seriously ill.

The doctors examined the man but could not diagnose his illness for sure. It was clear that the man was suffering greatly and that he took his suffering bravely. But what did he suffer from? — that was the question.

Dr. P. ordered a thorough investigation of the patient; but when Dr. Q. examined him, he thought that the man must be operated on at once. It seemed to him that he knew the man's illness. But how could the man be operated on before all the analyses were made, before one knew for sure what was wrong with him?

Late that night the man's condition became much worse, and he nearly died. It was Dr. Q. and the nurse on duty, who were with him all the time, who managed to save the man's life.

Next day, when the results of the analyses came, it became quite clear that an operation was absolutely necessary, and that valuable time had been lost.

After the operation the man felt better and was later able to go back to his work at the plant. Nothing terrible had happened. The man was well again.
