Greetings, Doctor
"I will pay the same respect to my master in the Science as to my parents . . . and pay all my debts to him," runs the doctors' Oath of Hippocrates.
Last week the 9,000-odd doctors and dentists who were trained at Government expense for service in World War II got notice that they might soon be called upon to repay their debt. All those who served fewer than 90 days in World War II and are now classified 1-A will be called up within the next six months, said the U.S. Defense Department. Those who served up to 21 months will follow. Meanwhile, all doctors and dentists under 50 throughout the nation who are not members of the Reserve forces were told to register for the draft before Jan. 15.
