Self-Supporting Hospitals For The Working Classes.
years to a severe and lone course of study . This capital is like the algebraic symbol a \ which stands for an unknown quantity , whereas the capital of a grocer or haberdasher is represented by a known quantity , that is , by the market value of the commodities in which he deals . It is ,
perhaps , for this reason that , whereas a working man would never expect to receive a loaf of bread or a pint of beer without p'tym ^ nt , he does expect to receive gratuitously the benefit of n medical practitioner ' s skill . We
are glad , however , to find that a determined stand against sni'h monstrous injustice is about to be made . We have before us a scheme for establishing a " self-supnortinir Eye Hospital for the Working Classes , " the main principle of which will be that all who seek relipf from it shall
contribute according to their mpans , so that the able medical staff who may give their services shall not go unremunerated . A leader in this admirable movement is one who is known to , and respected by , all our readers , a man of eminence in his profession , who for seven and twent y
years has given his services to the Royal Westminster Op hthalmic Hospital , and in the whole of that lengthened period has never received even so much as a vote of thanks , much less any emolument , for his services . The surgeon we allude to is none other than Bro . Jabez Hogg , and we
sincerely hope he may find sufficient spirit among the public , and especially among the affluent working men , to ensure the success of his efforts . We cannot , for the life of us , understand wh y a medical man should give his services gratuitously to those who can afford to pay for them . We
have it , on the authority of the Earl of Shaftesbury , that the wage-earning classes in this country make , in the aggregate , the sum of £ 400 , 000 , 000 per annum . Why , then , we ask , should these classes deliberately withhold payment of medical fees , especially when they are never at a
loss for money to gratify their pleasure ? There is not a physician or surgeon in the whole of the United Kingdom who is not willing to make any sacrifice in his power to relieve the deserving poor ; but it is exacting too much of them when men who are able to pay look to receive the benefit of their
services without payment . " The labourer , " even though he be a medical man of ability aud experience , " is worth y of his hire . "
