...view of things in an orderly, formal verse that is metered, rhymed and spare. But with the resolution of each poem, it becomes evident that he is above all an epistemologist, tirelessly examining the nature of understanding, endlessly checking the value of knowledge. In The Lady and the Physician, Ostroff has his doctor, who writes a prescription for a case of cosmic loneliness, muse on the nature of blunt science...
Episcopalian Price has been holding weekly healing services since 1942. He is warden of the Order of St. Luke the Physician, a group of clergy and laymen, including physicians, who take literally St. James's injunction: "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him."

Dominated by Episcopalians, the interdenominational Order of St. Luke exudes a well-bred approach that would shock Oral Roberts...
Rapid Check. The symptoms of syphilis are so various, said Dr. Pariser, that a physician may confuse syphilis with acne, chicken pox, measles, mononucleosis or cancer. He estimated that from 40% to 60% of syphilis victims pass through the primary and secondary stages without knowing what has hit them.

After two years, employee doctors become "participants," and after a third year they may be elected to partnership. Kaiser hospitals are community hospitals; any fully qualified...
...their doctor sooner when there is no "barrier of cost." This makes possible the most rewarding practice of all: preventive medicine. To provide the personal touch, Kaiser subscribers are given a reasonably long list from which to select a general practitioner or internist to serve as their family physician. Some keep the same family doctor for years; on his referral, they get treatment from a specialist in the group. To help subscribers make appointments painlessly. Kaiser medical offices use highspeed desks with lazy-Susan centers for doctors' schedule books...
