At the heart of medicine must dwell an abiding concern for the welfare of patients. Unfortunately, the wisdom of this premise has not always been honored-especially of late. Without question, the emergence of medicine as a science and the increasing pre-occupation of medical educators with research have spawned a climate highly favorable to the ad- vancement of knowledge. Nevertheless, this has been a mixed blessing, for it has also produced a waning of that precious element of personal regard for human suffering which characterized the physician of yore. lronically, in producing better scientists our schools of medicine have often created diminished physicians. The shift emphasis from concern for the sick individual to concern about his disease has been gradual, subtle, and doubtless unintentional, but it has not gone unnoticed. Indeed it is the basis for most of the dissatisfaction of patients with the present state of medical care. Still, there is hope on the horizon. Exhortations for a change in attitude are becoming increasingly evident from within medical ranks as well as from without, and it is heartening that among the loudest of voices raised in protest are those of the current generation of medical students. This bodes well for the future. ln the final analysis, the patient is truly the tulcrum of medicine. Physicians and students alike must never lose sight of this, for dedication to the cause of patients is at once the source of great strength to the profession as well as the key to lasting personal satisfaction for those who labor in its vineyard.
