ABSTRACT
The very massiveness of modem medical organization is itself a hindrance to health care for the poor. Medical organization tends to assume a patient who is educated and well-motivated, who is interested in ensuring a reasonable level of bodily functioning and generally in preserving his own health. The large central facilities make for greater administrative and medical efficiency. Medical establishments should make special efforts to discover and understand the prevalent life-styles of their patients. Since this affects efficiency of treatment, it is an important medical concern. Medical facilities must carefully consider how to allow and improve the lodging of complaints by the poor against medical services. It is absolutely necessary that medical personnel lessen their class and professional biases. Anti-bias training is virtually nonexistent in medical schools or associations. Clinics and hospitals could organize their services to include checking on ex-patients who have no private physicians.
