...have done much to help their fellows live longer useful lives are physicians who now share the benefits. Boston's Dr. Elliott Proctor Joslin, 91, top authority on diabetes, still examines patients six days a week at the famed Joslin Clinic, gets a big extra dividend from continuing practice because no other man has studied diabetes, or the same patients, for so long. Retired in Florida after 57 years of practice, Dr. Charles Ward Crampton, 81, still keeps his hand in as a consultant to the Geriatric Institute at the University of Miami's School of Medicine...

Doctors' and nurses' fees, extended treatment or psychiatric care will impose expenses that can burden a family with immense debts.

No surgeon, Dr. Jordan deliberately narrowed her field from the broad specialty of internal medicine to the new subspecialty of gastroenterology. In working days of 14 to 18 hours, she devoted her seemingly inexhaustible energy to the diagnosis and treatment of indigestion, peptic ulcers (in stomach, duodenum and small bowel...
...Jordan, retirement from practice at the Lahey Clinic and New England Baptist Hospital will not mean taking off a starched white coat: she has not worn one since internship, has favored trim dresses and suits that emphasize the briliant china blue of her eyes. Neither will retirement mean less activity-only more variety. She has a lot of technical medical writing to catch up on, wants to get back to the classics she has had to neglect for so long, and to learn Spanish.
