...Chicago Medical Society was in a furor last week. In the September American Mercury, Editor Morris Fishbein of the Journal of the American Medical Association had poked gently caustic fun at the elaborate routine of present-day obstetrical practice. He made bold to wonder whether modern mothers-in-child-birth are really better off than those of horse & buggy days. For this heresy the Society demanded that the A. M. A. discipline its spokesman. This the A. M. A. flatly refused...
...East, almost simultaneously, came a barrage of statistics to back up Editor Fishbein. It is generally agreed that the U. S. is one of the unsafest places in the civilized world to have a baby.

He succeeds Dr. Austin Albert Hayden. Chicago ear-eye-& throat surgeon, elected an A. M. A. trustee. Trustees were proud that the total depreciation of the securities in their charge "amounted to less than 6%, which is believed...
...Morris Fishbein of Chicago in a Saturday Evening Post article writes: "Competitive rowing is one of the most severe sports; few trainers will undertake to accept men for training on a crew until they have been carefully examined by physicians as to the state of their hearts. The longer a man has been an oarsman, the greater was the enlargement found in his vital tissue. Strangely enough, football players and boxers show relatively little enlargement in the heart, and cyclists practically none...
