Physicians have always offered free health care to needy

Article Abstract:

It is dangerous to think that the problem of limited access to healthcare will be solved if more doctors would volunteer their services. To do so encourages the public to blame doctors for a problem created by the entire system, not just one segment. It also ignores doctors' quiet, everyday acts of generosity. While the profession is not without scoundrels, medicine's oldest tradition is compassion.
