Where have all the young men gone? Gone to doctors - every one
Abstract
There is an old medical adage that says - 'to be a fine physician you should have a bald head and piles. A bald head to look respectable and piles to keep you looking serious . . .' Behind the adage, of course, is the strange provocative thought that a doctor must be mature, oldish, with an air of authority and a sense of having experienced life. He should be older than his patients and certainly not younger than the local bank manager, the schoolmaster or the magistrate.
