...After being hit in a schoolyard fight, Kelly Niles complained of a headache. But after an examination by the emergency room staff at San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital, he was sent home by Pediatrician David Haskin. Hours later, Kelly was rushed back to the hospital, too late. Clotting blood from an artery severed by a skull fracture had put too much pressure on his brain stem. He was permanently paralyzed from the neck down and was also left mute. His IQ of 140 was not seriously affected, and he now communicates by flicking his eyes-left...
...collector bought a painting for $2,700. He kept it for some 15 years and then sold it to Dr. Irving F. Burton, a Detroit pediatrician, for approximately $37,000. Five years later Dr. Burton sent it to Sotheby Parke Bernet, where it was auctioned with the rest of his collection last month. It was knocked down for $250,000. Thus far the script looks banal-"Impressionism for Fun and Profit." But the painting was not by an Impressionist, nor even by a European.

...psychology goes from door to door, providing both religious solace and the same "listening therapy" dispensed by the mental health aides. Ordinary medical doctors have been pressed into service, too, serving as listeners while they treat patients for physical ailments complicated by flood-inflicted traumas. One of these, Pediatrician Mark Spurlock, has found that Buffalo Creek children have more nightmares now, and that "asthmatics are wheezing more." Among his patients is a child who comes in at intervals for allergy shots; his mother recounts the story of the flood on every visit. "She doesn't even know...
Reverse Alchemy. Violence is holding its own. Five crime and Western shows are being canceled by the networks, but another six are being added. TV's medical corps, on the other hand, is definitely growing. NBC plans The Little People, about a Hawaiian pediatrician and his pediatrician daughter, and ABC has Temperature's Rising, about the chief surgeon in a big city hospital. Both shows will combine the medical genre with the situation-comedy formula. The only new programming of a serious nature is an hour on NBC that will alternate between NBC Reports and Alistair Cooke...
...yearlong study of medical manpower, Henry Mason of the association's department of undergraduate medical education concludes that the problem is not scarcity but uneven distribution. In South Dakota, for example, there is only one internist for every 12,813 people. In 18 states, there is only one pediatrician for each 20,000. Obstetrician-gynecologists are also unevenly distributed; while the national median is 1 to 11,915, the ratio in ten states is only 1 to 20,000. There is also some overabundance, for example, one general surgeon for every 7,554 people in the U.S. today...
