TIME interviewed four of the doctors: Paul Dudley White, the Boston cardiologist; Samuel Rosen, a Manhattan ear specialist; E. Grey Dimond, provost for the health sciences at the University of Missouri's new Kansas City School of Medicine; and Victor Sidel, head of the department of social medicine at Montefiore Hospital in New York. Their stays ranged from two weeks to a month, the most recent in September...
