By Robert R. King, Jr.
District Health Officer
Yesterday, Thursday, Febru
»ry 13, 1947, I sat in the house
;hamber of the Capitol building,
Raleigh, to attend the hearings
For and against a program of the
North Carolina Medical Care
;ommission which were present
ed to a joint appropriations com
mittee of the North Carolina Sen
ate and House of Representatives.
During the hour and a half al
loted to each side ipany of the
lay and medical leaders of North
Carolina interested in the pro
gram of better health spoke in
favor of the proposed program of
the Medical Care commission.
Even the opposition made a strong
appeal to the committee to sup
port the hospital building pro
gram and stated that their only
major point of disagreement con
cerned the establishment of a four
year medical school in Chapel
Hill. The leaders and representa
tives of the North Carolina Good
Health Association, Inc., were
among the numerous speakers
favoring the entire program. In
cuded in this group were Dr. I.
G. Greer, president of the Baptist
Orphanage, Thomasville; Dr. W.
W. Coppridge of Durham, presi
dent of the State Medical so
ciety; Dr. Clarence Poe. Raleigh
nublisher and vice chairman of
the Medical Care commission;
Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, and
numerous others expressed the
need of enlarging the school of
medicine of the University of
North Carolina in order to pro
vide the large need of employees
to fill the present vacancies and
the many new positions which
are to be orovided by the build
ing of health centers, enlarge
ment of tuberculosis and mental
disease hospitals, and additions to
many already existing hospitals
The leading opponents to the
building of a four year medical
school at Chapel Hill were Don
Elias of Asheville, a member of
the Medical Care commission:
Dr. W. S. Rankm of Charlotte,
Director of the Duke Foundation
and Dr. C. W. Bailey of Rocky
Mount. Dr. Rankin opposed the
building of the school because he
believed that the real source of
trouble lay in the improper dis
tribution of physicians through
out North Carolina. He also em
phasised that North. Carolipa al
ready is training more doctors for
every one thousand patients than
most states. Dr. Bailey released
figures on his own fact finding
poll of physicians in N. C. He
contended that two thirds of N:
C. doctors opposed establishment
of the four year school at Chapel
Hill in spite of the fact that the
Medical Society as a whole favors
this action.
The chief reason for the pro
posed construction of this build
ing in Chapel Hill is that it will
be more nearly in the center of
N. C. than if it were in Charlotte
or Greensboro, and this together
with the increased advantages of
remaining on the sam*-grounds
with the graded University more
than outweigh the disadvantages
offered by the proposed school
by its location in a small com
munity. On the other hand, ad
vantages to the medical school of
being located in a larger town
are that a greater variety of pa
tients as teaching material for
medical students would be avail
able in a large town and that
more highly qualified teachers
could be attracted to the medical
school because of the fact that
they would be able to supplement
their teaching salary with funds
from private practice which
would be difficult to obtain in a
town the size of Chapel Hill with
out increasing the cost of med
ical service which is one of the
fundamental aims of the state
supported teaching hospital.
Final decisions as to this mat
ter rest with the General Assem
bly but present indications are
that the entire program of the
N. C. Medical Care commission as
oublished by the North Carolina
3ood Health Association includ
ing the building of a four year
medical school at Chapel Hill
tv'll be approved by the General
A -sembly of 1947 and appropria
tions made accordingly for the
execution of the - proposals. In
my case the state should be proud
jf the action taken by the repre
sentatives and members of the
medical profession regardless of
their personal feeling with regard
to the location of the medical
school and should heartily sup
sort this program.
