چکیده

IN a short article in the British Medical Journal last year, a general practitioner recorded that one day the local postman said to him: "Doctor, most of those who pass away round here are patients of yours."

I have made a survey of all the deaths of patients in my practice during the past twenty-four years; that is to say, from my resumption of practice in 1946, after six years' absence engaged in other affairs, and up to the end of 1969.
