Happiness Through Health Easter Stars To
Patients Need To Be Informed Sponsor Bake
by Otto McClarrin
Special To The Post
Health-care experts say
there is much that patients
can do to protect themselves
against incompetent and neg
ligent medical care.
The average health-care
consumer is often too poorly
informed and too easily intim
idated to select, judge and
demand the kind of care every
patient deserves, these ex
perts contend.
Consumer education in the
health field, they say, would
result in patients' gaining
better care for themselves and
their families and provides the
fastest and surest means of
eliminating incompetent
medical pracitces and prac
titioners.
"The informed consumer
can be the most powerful force
for bettering the caliber of
health care," says Dr. Arthur
Levin, a New York City pedi
atrician who is the author of
the recently published book,
“Talk Back to Your Doctor."
"Doctors, like everyone
else, perform better when
their performance is being
scrutinized,” he says.
An informed health-care
consumer knows how and
when to choose his doctors
and what questions to ask to
assure adequate preventive
care and proper diagnosis and
treatment of an illness.
Mr., Mrs. Davis To
Host Second Ward’s
1935 Classmates
There will be a meeting of
the Class of 1939 at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Perry A. Davis
at 6218 Farm Pond Lane on
iSaturday March 27, at 7:30
p.m.
All members are urged to be
present.
He knows what to tell the
doctor about himself, how to
identify a good hospital, how
tho find out if surgery is need
ed and how generally to act in
his own intents as a patient.
The choice of a physician
can be a most important de
cision. Yet many doctors be
lieve that people often choose
anew car more carefully than
they choose a doctor.
TRAINING MORE BLACK
DOCTORS
A program to bolster the
teaching of biology in black
colleges and to help prepare
more black and other minority
group students to become doc
tors was announced recently
by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foun
dation.
Dr. John Z. Bowers, the
foundation's president, said
the program had been stimu
lated in part by the latest
figures, which have shown a
drop-off in the number of bla
cks entering the nation’s med
ical schools.
Dr. Bowers said that among
the reasons cited by medical
educators for the decline were
the following:
Mnr* hlnrlr m Arlioo 1 sin.
dents are having academic
problems and the pool of tal
ented prospective black doc
tors has been considerably
reduced.
Medical schools are turning
down thousands of academic
ally qualified white students,
making it more difficult to
award a place to a black stu
dent with lower grades.
Reverse discrimination
suits against the Universities
of Washington and California
had made members of med
ical school admissions com
mittees more cautious about
selecting blacks with relative
ly lower academic grades.
Medical schools are respon
ding to pressure to admit
more women with high aca
demic records.
REPEATERS
According to statistics pub
lished recently in the Journal
of the American Medical As
sociation, 61, or 14.4 percent of
the 1,117 blacks enrolled in the
first year medical class 1974
75 were repeating the year.
This figure contrasted with
2, or 2.8 percent of the 72
American Indians; 32, or 13.9
percent of the 231 Mexican
Americans; 7, or 9.9 percent of
the 71 students from Puerto
Rico; and 162, or 1.2 percent of
the 13,472 students from all
other categories.
As a result, the Macy Foun
dation decided to fund a $210,
000 program to help spread the
teaching of modern biology in
more black colleges. (NNPA)
