There has been another plea. Dr. Treadway spoke of the shortage of personnel. It is acute everywhere in every department. Then on top of that comes the plea from the general hospital men, from the t.b. hospital men, for neuro-psychiatrists to be assigned to his staff. That is a physical impossibility. There are not enough n.p. men to go around and I have a solution of that which I have put up to numerous men and that is just this. Along with what General Sawyer said today about every one’s being a well-rounded out man, every man who has charge of a hospital, every man who is on the staff of a hospital taking care of ex-service men ought to go down and buy a copy of White’s Outlines and study it for the next six months. If you will do that you don’t need specialists on your staff. You can make a near enough diagnosis so you will be reasonably certain in 95% of your cases as to whether they ought to be sent to an n.p. hospital or not. DR. FULLER: I an particularly interested in the question of personnel. The shortage of neuro-psychiatric trained personnel and physicians is a real and very acute problem. We have any number of vacancies for such men in the Public Health Service at the present time. I dare say the same conditions exist in the Army and Navy. I believe that the only way of solving the problem that Dr. McLake spoke of is for the Commending Officers of those hospitals who have one psychiatrist on their staff,—and practically all the large hospitals have one on their staff,—to insist that these psychiatrists interest other members of the staff. The fact that Dr. Treadway brought out, that most young men are not interested in psychiatry is due to the fact they do not know anything about it. I was one of the men who visited the schools last year. I was suddenly confronted by statements made by the deans or their assistants: “Oh, neuro-psychiatry, I don’t expect you will get much enthusiasm from any of the schools on that subject, because that is a post-graduate subject and we don’t make any attempt to teach it during the under-graduate years.” Any number of young men who will state a preference for general medicine can be interested in this subject about which they know nothing. The solution, therefore, depends upon the commanding officers of these hospitals and upon the psychiatrists on their staffs; depends upon their willingness to detail one or more young men to the psychiatrists, who are interested in the subject. I don’t believe that the problem is going to be solved in any other way because there are not enough men outside who are willing to come into the Government service, who are interested. DR. MILLER: We have a specialist at Oteen who lectures to our entire medical staff Tuesday and Friday of each week. They are very much interested in it and we think it is a very great benefit to the institution and the patients.
