Joseph Cottle started his Bristol Album in 1795, recognizing the promise of his new circle of friends. Among those who contributed poems to this album were Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworth, William Gilbert, Dr Beddoes, and the anonymous author of a poem ‘Evening’, described in the album as ‘Written by an Insane Man at Dr Fox's’. ‘Evening’ appears in the album immediately before a contribution in Coleridge's hand, and it has a number of verbal parallels with ‘The Eolian Harp’, which Coleridge was to start two months later. Dr Edward Long Fox, who in 1795 played a leading role in Bristol's radical community, was a medical practitioner who treated the mentally ill. This paper looks at how the poem was transmitted from the privacy of Fox's asylum to the pages of Cottle's album, and assesses its significance for that early Romantic writing circle.

Abstract Job satisfaction has been an important topic of focus in the organizational setting for the last few decades. This research aims to validate job satisfaction scale in medical practitioner population. The 10 items in this scale consist of 4 extrinsic facet items and 5 intrinsic facet items. This intrument was adapted into Bahasa Indonesia as suggested by Beaton, et al. (2000) and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The study conducted among 287 participants working in the medical field. The study showed that the reliability of intrinsic facet is .811 and extrinsic facet .729. Further analysis found that there is correlation between intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction. This study concluded that the job satisfaction scale used in this study is valid and reliable to be applied in medical practitioner in Indonesia. Abstrak Alat ukur kepuasan kerja telah digunakan di berbagai bidang pekerjaan termasuk kesehatan. Sayangnya di Indonesia penelitian mengenai alat ukur ini sendiri masih sangat terbatas, terutama mengenai konstruk kepuasan kerja dengan subjek khusus tenaga kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengadaptasi skala kepuasan kerja untuk tenaga kesehatan dari Hills, Joyce dan Humphreys (2012) ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Proses penerjemahan berdasarkan langkah-langkah yang disarankan oleh Beaton, dkk. (2000). Alat ukur kepuasan kerja yang digunakan terbagi menjadi dua berdasarkan sumbernya, yaitu ekstrinsik dan intrinsik, dengan total 10 aitem. Peserta yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 287 responden. Berdasarkan hasil uji reliabilitas didapatkan koefisien alfa sebesar .811 untuk kepuasan kerja yang bersifat intrinsik dan .729 untuk kepuasan kerja yang bersifat ekstrinsik. Berdasarkan hasil uji validitas dengan teknik faktor analisis dan uji reliabilitas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa alat ukur ini cukup valid dan reliabel untuk diterapkan di Indonesia. Berdasarkan analisis tambahan yang dilakukan, ditemukan hubungan antara sumber kepuasan kerja yang bersifat intrinsik dan ekstrinsik

Abstract Background Investment in human resources for health not only strengthens the health system, but also generates employment and contributes to economic growth. India can gain from enhanced investment in health workforce in multiple ways. This study in addition to presenting updated estimates on size and composition of health workforce, identifies areas of investment in health workforce in India. Methods We analyzed two sources of data: (i) National Health Workforce Account (NHWA) 2018 and (ii) Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017–2018 of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). Using the two sources, we collated comparable estimates of different categories of health workers in India, density of health workforce and skill-mix at the all India and state levels. Results The study estimated (from NHWA 2018) a total stock of 5.76 million health workers which included allopathic doctors (1.16 million), nurses/midwives (2.34 million), pharmacist (1.20 million), dentists (0.27 million), and traditional medical practitioner (AYUSH 0.79 million). However, the active health workforce size estimated (NSSO 2017–2018) is much lower (3.12 million) with allopathic doctors and nurses/midwives estimated as 0.80 million and 1.40 million, respectively. Stock density of doctor and nurses/midwives are 8.8 and 17.7, respectively, per 10,000 persons as per NHWA. However, active health workers’ density (estimated from NSSO) of doctor and nurses/midwives are estimated to be 6.1 and 10.6, respectively. The numbers further drop to 5.0 and 6.0, respectively, after accounting for the adequate qualifications. All these estimates are well below the WHO threshold of 44.5 doctor, nurses and midwives per 10,000 population. The results reflected highly skewed distribution of health workforce across states, rural–urban and public–private sectors. A substantial proportion of active health worker were found not adequately qualified on the one hand and on the other more than 20% of qualified health professionals are not active in labor markets. Conclusion India needs to invest in HRH for increasing the number of active health workers and also improve the skill-mix which requires investment in professional colleges and technical education. India also needs encouraging qualified health professionals to join the labor markets and additional trainings and skill building for already working but inadequately qualified health workers.

In M.A.K. v. Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed the appellate court and held that the phrase any physician, medical practitioner, hospital, clinic, health care facility or other medical or medically related facility, in a patient's signed consent form met the general designation requirement of the Code of Federal Regulations for the release of alcohol and drug abuse treatment records. Thus, the Illinois Supreme Court held that the medical center's release of a patient's records did not violate the federal Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient Records regulations.

BackgroundDepression is common and tends to be recurrent. Alternative treatments are needed that are non-stigmatising, accessible and can be prescribed by general medical practitioners.AimsTo compare the effectiveness of three interventions for depression: physical exercise, internet-based cognitive–behavioural therapy (ICBT) and treatment as usual (TAU). A secondary aim was to assess changes in self-rated work capacity.MethodA total of 946 patients diagnosed with mild to moderate depression were recruited through primary healthcare centres across Sweden and randomly assigned to one of three 12-week interventions (trail registry: KCTR study ID: KT20110063). Patients were reassessed at 3 months (response rate 78%).ResultsPatients in the exercise and ICBT groups reported larger improvements in depressive symptoms compared with TAU. Work capacity improved over time in all three groups (no significant differences).ConclusionsExercise and ICBT were more effective than TAU by a general medical practitioner, and both represent promising non-stigmatising treatment alternatives for patients with mild to moderate depression.

The Committee on Accident Prevention of the American Academy of Pediatrics recently surveyed a group of pediatricians and general practitioners in New York State to learn more about the role played by the medical practitioner, and especially the pediatrician, in accident prevention. The survey, reported in the August, 1964, News Letter of the Academy, verified the opinion of some committee members that the practicing physician generally neglected to include accident prevention as part of his purpose in patient care and that he lacked a missionary zeal in combating the number one killer and disabler of children.
