The Canadian Medical Association is of course concerned with protecting the profession as well as the public: those who believe in a government-sponsored medicare plan claim that the medical profession's reaction is based on self-interest. The debate was intensified by the 1962 medicare dispute in Saskatchewan, the publication in 1964 of the first two volumes of the Report of the Royal Commission on Health Services, and the more recent disagreement between the federal and provincial governments over the issue. Professor Blishen here examines the position of the medical profession in this debate as part of an ideological reaction to a rapidly changing society. The growth of scientific knowledge, demographic change, and shifting social values all have an impact on the medical profession: the doctors' dilemma must be seen against this background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe focus of this analysis throughout is the physician's role: the examples are Canadian but the ideologies and situations involved are relevant to all countries with a similar medical development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Blishen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802061052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802061058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Bernard Blishen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448958365951,"sku":"9780802061058","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f60c1296-c7b8-407b-802b-cdf215c1ac78.jpg?v=1777261346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doctors-and-doctrines-bernard-blishen-9780802061058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
