Not only is it an assumption, it is incorrect as well.  As was pointed
out to me not too long ago in this very forum when I was deriding the
medical profession as one which does no pro bono work, there are quite
a few doctors working for a pittance to provide health care to the
indigent and others who may not have access to higher priced
medicine.  Doctors Across Borders was just one of the organization of
doctors held up to me to show me the error of my words.

On the other hand, I miss the physician of my youth who worked out of
his old brownstone home and would make house calls in the middle of
the night.  His expertise and quality of care would certainly not hold
up in light of today's medicine but that personal touch was warm and
reassuring.  Something completely lacking in today's practice.
