	SUNY Upstate Medical University: Health Sciences Library: Historical Collections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		With the possible exception of the library of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia (whose collection was built mainly on donations),(6) the greatest medical libraries in nineteenth century America (especially in the antebellum period) were owned by individuals.
		There seems to have been a generation of physicians and surgeons who came of age during the Civil War or shortly thereafter, who had no interest in the preservation of the records of bygone medical eras, and who believed that the typical contents of institutional medical libraries were of little or no clinical importance.
		The physician whose studies lead him to consult early American medical literature must be painfully struck with the perishable character of our professional literature, and the meagre or fragmentary collections which have been made."(25) In 1882 Toner announced his gift of 20000 volumes to the Library of Congress.

	THOMAS A. SCULLY, CMS
		Physicians argue that these negative payment updates will hinder their ability to care for beneficiaries, and may result in some physicians not accepting new Medicare patients.
		Because physician payment accounts for about 17.6 percent of program payments in 1997, the physician savings in the BBA represented by these changes were perceived to be relatively modest.
		Just as we are working with our contractors to improve their physician and provider education efforts, we also are working directly with physicians and other health care providers to improve our own communications and ensure that we are responsive to their needs.

	Physicians, the law and professional courtesy
		Professional courtesy, the practice among many physicians and other professionals of providing free or discounted services to their fellow professionals, their employees and to others, has long been a respected tradition.
		This article will attempt to provide physicians and other professionals with some information on this modern dilemma through review of the three primary federal laws that are applied to professional courtesy, and some insight into the arguments the government appears to advocate.
		Physicians and other professionals who desire more information about professional courtesy, or with questions about particular instances of professional courtesy, should consider discussing same with their medical societies, or with a health care attorney who in knowledgeable on these issues.

	U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations
		Because the physician fee schedule conversion factor has been affected by a comparison of the actual increase in expenditures to the level of allowed expenditures calculated using the MVPS and the SGRs for FYs 1998-1999, revision of our estimates would have resulted in different conversion factors than those we actually determined.
		The 4.4 percent reduction to the physician fee schedule conversion factor is occurring, in part, because of a flawed statute that does not allow us to revise estimates for previous years.
		Because physician payment accounts for about 17.6 percent of program payments in 1997, the physician savings in the BBA represented by these changes were relatively modest.

	MEDICARE ANNOUNCES FEE INCREASE FOR PHYSICIANS
		The new payment system for physician practice expenses, also required by law, is based on resources involved in providing care, rather than on physicians' historical charges.
		Resource-based values for the physicians' work were implemented several years ago, and we are currently implementing resource-based values for the expenses associated with physicians' practices.
		In this the third year of a four year phase-in of the new system, 75 percent of physician fees will be based on the new system and 25 percent will be based on physicians' historical charges.

		Since ancient times, physicians have recognized that the health and well-being of patients depend upon a collaborative interaction between patients and physicians.
		This historical regard for the physician-patient relationship underlies current recognition of the physician-patient relationship as a central strength of American medical practice.
		In this regard, physicians are well served to understand and subscribe to the fundamental elements of the relationship.

	MEDICARE ANNOUNCES 1999 PHYSICIAN FEE SCHEDULE
		The 1999 Medicare physician fee schedule for the first time will begin to relate payment for physician practice expenses to the actual resources used to provide medical services rather than physicians' historical charges.
		Under the new system, physicians who provide services primarily in office settings, such as family practice and internal medicine specialists, will generally receive increased payments, while physicians who provide services primarily in hospital settings, such as cardiac surgeons and neurosurgeons, will generally receive decreased payments.
		The relative values for physician work -- the physician's own time and effort and the intensity of a procedure -- have been established since the inception of the Medicare fee schedule.

	Emotions and Disease: Historical Perspective
		In this bedside scene in a traditional medical setting, the physician is in close contact with the patient, taking the pulse and in easy visual and verbal range.
		For centuries and long before the first glimmerings of modern science, physicians and non-physicians alike have acknowledged that the way people felt in their minds could influence the way they responded in their bodies.
		This exhibition highlights significant achievements and major turning points on a well-traveled historical road which is taking a turn yet again as it leads into the promising but indefinite future.
