NATIONAL-SOCIALISM AND MEDICINE
Address by Dr. F. Hamburger to German Medical Profession. Translated
(in part) from _Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift_, 1939, No. 6.
Medical men must beware of pride, a pride which is certainly
wide-spread and which leads to the disparagement of the practical
doctor and medical layman, and then further to the disparagement of
the craft of nature healers. The practical doctor and the nature
healer on the one hand tend towards an understandable disparagement of
medical science and analysis and, on the other hand, tend towards
superficiality. The superficiality of the opponents of science is,
however, as unhappy an affair as the pride of the so-called
scientists, but the one group should not demean the other. This would
lead to successful cooperation to the advantage of the sick and health
of the community.
Academic medicine and nature healers generally have one thing in
common, that they underestimate the significance of automatism and
suggestion. In this regard there is an absence in both camps of the
necessary criticism and clarity. Successes are noted with specific
methods without any confirmation as to whether or not suggestion and
faith alone have not produced the improvement in the patient.
National-Socialism is the true instrument for the achievement of the
health of our people. National-Socialism is concerned with the great
significance of inherited traits and with the insight into the working
of spiritual forces upon the body, with the study of the power of
custom and, along with this, of the significance of education and
nurture. (Hamburger here complains about the luxurious arrangement for
dealing with the mentally ill in contradistinction to the neglect of
Folk-health. This he attributes to the era of liberalism with its
stress upon the single individual. He here also attacks the Socialism
of Social Democracy and its conception of a Community of Equal Men.
This is a false Socialism.)
