US medicine, the nation’s most conservative profession, is being shaken up. Many medical students and young doctors are determined to change its rules and traditions. Old practices like the one-to-one doctor-patient relationship and the direct fee for service are losing respect. The American Medical Association, traditional foe (反对者) of any system hinting of collectivism (集体主义), is losing membership. Yet resistance to change is strong, and no speedy revolution of US medicine is in sight. (32) What is happening amounts to a slow, often painful evolution that is shaping a new kind of doctor. Jeffrey Beckwith, 26, an intern at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan, represents only a vocal minority, but his attitudes are significant. (33)He is more like his grandfather than his father, preferring the model of the old general practitioner (GP) to that of the specialist or researcher. He recognizes the inadequacies of the old GP, but thinks that better training can overcome them. He acknowledges the need for specialists, but envisions them as part of a team. "Specialists take one organ and ignore everything else," says Jeffrey Beckwith. "I want to get it all together." He is less interested in solo practice and a big income. (34)But he is ready to seek partnerships, which he values most. He is willing to accept Government participation in medicine and new types of health insurance schemes. Though only a radical few favor socialization, (35)most see health care as a citizen’s right rather than a privilege. They also realize that the money necessary to assure that right for all and some degree of supervision over its spending will have to come from some level of government.
