...complicated world of doctor-patient relationships, "informed" consent and the like, Dr. Stinchfield was refreshingly old school. To the patient facing surgery his pre-op discussion of risks and benefits was generally something like: "Anything can happen here but I give you my word that I'll do the very best I possibly can". He meant it - and they knew it - and however the operations came out they loved him. (Remember these were the early days of joint replacement and they didn't always work...
...really the same drug that keeps parents up with a sick baby, ministers up with a desperate parishioner, or soldiers up taking fire to save their buddies. But now my administrator says that the guy down the block will do the job if I don't persuade that patient to come to me. So what do I offer a patient who, we are told, really doesn't need me?

If an ambulance pulls up to the border-crossing point near Bisbee and announces "compassionate entry," the border patrol waves it through, and the Copper Queen is compelled to treat the patient. It is one more program that Congress mandates but does not pay for. "If you make me treat someone," says Dickson, "then you need to pay me. You can't have unfunded mandates in a small hospital." Although the Medicare drug act that passed last year provides for modest payments...
