STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL A Doctor Who Never Mixes Soeiql 131k With His Duties as a Physician. “In my experience, ”said a well knewn doctor “I have met with many curious examples of distorted ideas of what pro- fessional etiquette should be, but the most marked case of any is to be found in a Philadelphia doctor of high stand- ins “He possesses considerable skill, and this, along with many mannerisms aid affections, with a startling nicety of dress always in the latest fashion, has made this physician the pet of the world _ of fashion. who are willing to pay ex- orbitant prices for indulging in a social fad. They all like him because he is so difierent. “The doctor is a great stickler on the ethics of medical practice,and considers his methods the only proper ones for a. ‘ physician to follow. He refrains when visiting a patient from saying anything : to any person in the honse,'aside from asking for information concerning the case in hand, but a most polite ‘Good- day’ when arriving and leaving. He be- "lieves that the doctor shouldbeapart from the man; so, in-a well defined man- ner, he conducts a dual life—Dr. Blank as the physician and Dr. Blank as the social man. “You can imagine how this cool pro-I efessional manner seems in the homes 'of his friends, yet N no matter how closely he may be connected when called in pro- = fessionally he always maintains his art titude. “I know of one case in which he was called in by a college chum to attend his wife. The two had been the warmest sort of friends in college, having roomed together and graduated in the same class. But, as such things go in this world, they had not seen much of each , other in late years, their business keep- ing them apart and kind fortune having favored the man’s home with health, so there was no need for a physician. But hecalled his friend in when he needed him. At the door he met him with a. cordial greeting and a hearty handshake, only to have a cold ‘Good morning’ and an indifferent grasp of the hand in re- turn. “The man, thinking he must have some cause for his apparently cool, in- different manner, said no more but con- ducted him tohis wife’s room, where he answered all the questions put to him by the physician. As he was going down stairs he stopped in the library, and tak- ing up a decanter, said: “ ‘Allow me to give you a glass of sherry, doctor?’ “This the doctor refused, and proceed- ed on his way down stairs, and with a ‘good-day’ went out. 1 “The gentleman was nonplussed by his strange action. The friend of his college days so changed! His medita- tions was interrupted by the ringing of the bell, and on going to the héad of the stairs found it was the doctor returned. But it was not the doctor; it was the man. “The returned doctor didfi not wait for his friend to come down and g1 eet him but rushed upstairs, and taking his hand was most cordial. This puzzled the gentleman more than ever, and he began to think his friend had really gone in- sane. But his old college chum dragged him into the library, where, without waiting for an invitation from his host, he took up the decanter and poured out two glasses of wine. Then, selecting an easy chair, he sat down with the re- mark: “ ‘Well, John, this is like the good old days gone by.’ “Then he plied all sorts of questions to the astonished man, who was so amazed that everything seemed jumbled to him. Finally he recovered himself to ask him the meaning of his actions upon his first visit. The doctor explain- ed how rigidly be adhered. to a line of ethics in medical practice, and how he never presumed that a professional call was intended to be a social visit. “ ‘Now,’ he went on, I ‘finished my professional call, went outside and waits ed awhile; then I made my social call, for I was anxious to see and talk to you, John. I never allow any of my pa- tients to say I overstepped the line of professionalism even one iota. “My life as a doctor and my life as a. man are two different things altogether, and I keep them apart from each-other, so that they are perfect strangers. It may seem strange, but it is an idea I have., i! . 4 CHURCH INVITES BICYCLISTS. They May Go in Their Riding Togs, and Their Wheels Will Be Cured For. Sunday bicyclists will be welcomed in the Church of the Redeemer in Astoria, - the leading Episcopal chu1ch in Long. Island City. Dr. Cooper began his address a recent Sunday morning in these w01ds: , “Young men, if you must ride bicy- cles on Sundays, come to church, no matter if you are attired in riding cos- tume. We will make you welcome and ' I will make arrangements to have your “ wheels taken care of during services. Two sons of a communicant of this church went bicycling. one Sunday re- . cently. “Before leaving their mother told them not to return until they had been to church. They arrived at the church . door here dressed in bicycle costume ‘ shortly after service began. There wheels were taken care of, and they were escorted to the rector’s pew, and it pleased me to see them there: Do not stay away frdm church Sundays be- cause .you ride a bicycle. Bring the wheel to church with you.” PBBSOI.
