IS MY DOCTOR GIVING
ME THE TRUE FACTS?
Misrepresentations by Political Powers of Organized Allopaths (M.D.s)
THEY SAY:
Dr. Miller. President of Texas Medical As-
, . , sociation: “Under the laws of Texas today
qualified ^o^ guarantee that this man treating you is
ANSWER' HP1? sh<?uld the proponents of the present
, " Basic Science Law make a ridiculous, unfair
statement of this kind. Have they never read the Medical Prac-
tice Act operating since 1907?
Please ex-
plain how
IN THEIR PROPOSED
Minimum Standards Bill
----- they state that it is not
too much to ask anyone practicing the healing art to be exam-
ined in the Basic Sciences. Dr. Miller says technically the Basic
Science subjects are these: “Anatomy. Physiology, Chemistry,
Bacteriology, Pathology, Hygiene, and Public Health.”
AmuWLK Are ^ey 50 uninformed that thev do not know
the present State Medical Board examines in
Anatomy. Physiology, Chemistry. Bacteriology. Pathology. Hy-
giene, AND ALSO Histology. Diagnosis, Surgery, Obstetrics,
Gynecology and Medical Jurisprudence?
WILL THE MEDICAL DOCTORS
the patient’s health will be better protected by requiring a
young qualified doctor to take the same examinations twice by
two boards? Who is going to pay this unnecessary expense for
him?
EHl oPllnioDRS of the so-called “Basic Science” or
... Minimum Standards Act say they
want the Public to be sure that all practitioners of the Healing
Arts have at least a minimum education,
ANSWER' Are they so unformed that they do not know
* * that the present law requires two years of Col-
lege work plus four yfears of eight months each in a Reputable
Medical School?
I HE SPONSORS 2f Basic Science or Minimum
standards have advertised In the
public press that this will be a fair bill because no Chiroprac-
tor, Naturopath or Osteopath will be a member of this board.
ANSWER:
Why didn’t they also exclude Allopaths
(M.D.s) ? For the perfectly clear reason that
they will have two M.D.s from the faculty of a medical school
on this Board, although they are not in active practice.
THE ALLOPATHS
will control the practice of
ANSWER:
(M.D.s) state that the Minimum
Standards Law (Basic Science)
unlicensed Doctors in Texas.
It is absurd to contend that a new law with
less police power could be enforced as well as
the present medical laws, which have protected the public
health of Texas for over 40 years.
Dr. Tate Miller, President of the Texas Medical Associ-
ation, stated in a recent broadcast that all he could say
of other types of doctors or branches of the Healing Art*
studying the Basic Sciences was that their catalogues say
they do.
Here is a comparison of the Education Background of Osteopathic
and Medical Physicians. Schools
approved by Amer-
lean Osteopathic Association must require: Minimum of 2 years premedical college work (as must all approved M. D.
schools). We list a comparison of Osteopathic education as required by the Six approved Osteopathic Colleges and
Harvard Medical College (M. D.s) in their required subjects:
' Standard of
Osteopathic College
Requirements Are:
Harvard Medical
School (MDs.)
Requirements Are:
1. Anatomy, including Embryology and Histology..............
440 Hours
2. Physiology ...........................................
232 Hours
3. Biochemistry ..........................................
232 Hours
4. Pathology, Bacteriology and Immunology..................
479 Hours
5. Pharmacology ........................................
129 Hours
6. Hygiene and Sanitation.................................
124 Hours
7. General Medicine .....................................
1219 Hours
8. General Surgery ......................................
705 Hours
9. Obstetrics and Gynecology..............................
317 Hours
TOTAL HOURS required by Osteopathic Schools 4,400.
Total Hours required by Harvard Medical School (M.D.s.) 3,877.
4400 Hours
3877 Hours
The Osteopathic Schools Are Inspected
Yearly by the Bureau of Colleges
DO THE M. D. SCHOOLS have similar requirements for
inspecting colleges? NO!
Every Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon in Texas has
a license to practice Medicine and Surgery which is iden-
tical to the license under which the Medical Doctor
practices.
HOW LONS WILL THE PEOPLE, whose generous sub-
scriptions and gifts have built the big hospitals of our
state, allow the M.D.'s to dominate these institutions and
bar QUALIFIED OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS and their
patients from these tax-free institutions?
M.D.S. do you want Educational Standards or Monoply?
Can an M.D. get a license in the State of Texas with-
out being examined by an Osteopathic Physician and
Surgeon? NO! — Every applicant to practice Medi-
cine and Surgery in Texas must be examined by a
board composed of six Allopaths, two Ecletics, one
Homepath (All M.D.s)—a total of nine M.D.s—and
three Osteopaths.
Can the Legislature create special privilege for any
school of practice?
The answer is NO. The Texas Gonftffutloi* says:
Legislature may pass Laws prescribing the qnaliflcatlons
of practitioners of Medicine in the State, and to punish
persons for Mal-practice, BUT NO PREFERENCE SHALL
EVER BE GIVEN BY LAW TO ANY SCHOOL OF MEDI*
CINE."
THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OR BASIC SCIENCE Bill SHOULD BE OPPOSED
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
The composition of the board would be Monopolis-
tic in favor of the M.D.s. No other school is repre-
sented on the proposed board.
It would restrict the licensing of qualified physi-
cians between states by reciprocity. The Medical
Board during the last two years has licensed over
700 Doctors who had qualified themselves in other
States. Under the proposed Basic Science Law none
of these men could have been licensed in Texas.
It would place qualified Doctors in double
jeopardy — they would have to take the same sub-
jects by two Boards..
MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS HAVE REPEATEDLY
PLUGGED FOR THIS BILL AS A SCREEN TO KEEP
OUT OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS.
It is the first step on the part of the M.D.s to
change the present Medical Practice Act to one
they can control for selfish reasons.
Only a very limited number of qualified physicians
(M.D.s ) realize what the Minimum Standards Prac-
tice Act is, nor do they realize what the Minimum
Standards Act will do for the' Health of the Public
in the Future. As a matter of fact, the chances are
that not 5% of the M.D.s in Texas have ever read
the new proposed Basic Science Law. As a clarifica-
tion, ask your own Doctor if he has ever read the
proposed Basic Science Law.
