[The doctor in the city]

In his own town, the physician plays an important part in the public organizations of public health, in the commissions that grant permits and pensions, in the private charity societies, for the collection of epidemiological informations, etc. Unfortunately his place is small in the hospitals management, and he is not a member of the board for health insurance councils. In the State, he has to be a member of the consultative commissions for developing a health policy, and a public health system cannot work without his complete support. For the justice, the physician is often a necessary cooperator for a good use of the law in many cases. Forensic medicine is sometimes forgotten and badly taught. Justice and society have many requirements which endanger the medical secrecy.
