FEES OFSlSRGEONS ARE TO BE LIMITEO Steps Taken by Johns Hopkin* Hospital of Baltimore Will Reduce Cost of Operations. Baltimore.—Jchns Hopkins Hospital has taken steps to curb profiteering In surgery. R was learned that tbe board of trustees of tbe famo-is hoe pltal ha* begun at home lu efforts te dispel the tendency of many pbyMclans and surgeons to overchr.rg* wealthy patients. A sweeping dictum issued by th* U.stees snd limiting a surgeon's fee for an operation, even on millionaire patl-ynta, to 61.000 and a physician'* fee for attending patlenu In the ho# pltel to 633 a week is regarded generally as ah ort’-w affecting tbe metLcal men of the nation. Part time physicians, and surgeons practicing at the Jobes Hopkins Hospital, tbe only ones affected by Uie dictum, are frankly displeased over the strenuous order, inasmuch as fees fa# operation# ou wealthy patients have In the past brought In neat sums. Many of these surgeons have made a practice of charging from 6LD00 to 63.000 for au operation, and In language phrased as diplomatically apossible the hospital trustees made U plain that, so far as Johns Hopkins Is concerned the practice is obsolete. Tt was pointed out that the dletta does not affect the regular full time physicians, surgeons and other members of staff, es all their fees go Into a Joint fund, to be later distributed ! among the different department*. On the other hand, there are many practitioners, most of them of renowned ability, who have been practl'lnf at tbe bospltsl and charging fees commensurate with the pocke'books of the patlenu. It was said that 63,000 fees bad of late been growing commonHigher fees had been reported.
