The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund Society of Ireland

چکیده
Succeeding generations of medical practitioners have tended to complain about their lot. In more recent years the complaints about terms of service have been directed at the administrators of the system originally devised by politicians with the acquiescence of a reluctant profession. These complaints are more concerned with the small print refinements in an already well tried system. Looking back to the early 19th century, the conditions under which general practitioners toiled can be envisaged only with difficulty. At that time their main problems were those of survival and of establishing a means of sustenance for their families. Insurance, although available, was not widely used, in part due to the additional expense and there was a perceived need for some form of benevolent fund for dispensary doctors and their families.
