Disappointed in Journal

“The medical profession has accomplished much. It will accomplish more in the future. It will become a more rounded profession. The members of our profession who have the clearest vision are already attacking those problems which seem to be at the root of our greatest deficiencies, and the next fifty years should produce a profession capable of rendering a greater and more satisfying service because it will understand the patient and give him an intelligent consideration that he has never before received. The future practitioner of medicine should be all that the family physician of yore was and more, because of his greater knowledge of both the disease and the patient, and because of his wider sympathy built on an intelligent understanding of the patient as a thinking, hoping human being.”

I cannot help but try to imagine how Dr Pottenger would feel and what he would think about the state of medicine and society today.
