Raising Pediatric Fees

This letter is written to support the idea that it would be a good thing for the children of this country if pediatricians raised their fees. This bald and mercenary-like statement can be made particularly by me without question of a selfish motive, and I make it only to emphasize certain trends in pediatric practice which I think are not to the advantage of the public or of the pediatricians. Most pediatricians work too hard and see too many patients. I assume the privilege of a confirmed professional teacher of pediatricians with a background approaching 30 years, to "point with pride" and "view with alarm" certain trends in pediatric practice. I believe we can name hardly any more important influence for the well-being of the children in this country than the modern development of the practice of pediatrics as influenced by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Children between the ages of 5 and 18 spend a significant amount of their time in school. School health is a vital part of pediatric practice and an important concern for pediatric graduate medical education. There are few substantiated data, however, to suggest that residents entering pediatric practice or academic medicine are exposed to school health in a significant way. Many pediatricians, upon entering practice, find that they are consulted by school systems and parents whose children have problems related to school. Pediatricians find themselves unprepared for this new role and express the need for postgraduate education in school health.1-4 The American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Pediatric Education5 and the most recent report from the Pediatric Residency Review Committee have both underscored the appropriateness and importance of education in school health as an important part of the residency curriculum.6 The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that education in school health should be an important part of graduate medical education for pediatric residents and of continuing medical education for practicing pediatricians. Many advances in pediatrics that affect the well-being of the child relate directly to the school setting. Increased attention to federal legislation (Section 504 of PL 93-112, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; parts B and H of PL 102-119, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), health education including education about the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, new approaches to screening and health services in the schools, immunization requirements, physical fitness, and knowledge about the school environment—all are important aspects of school health and areas in which many residents and/or pediatricians have had little or no training or experience.

In the Newsletter of January 1, 1968, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that the executive board strongly endorsed time American Cancer Society's anti-smoking resolution. Personally, I cannot agree with the approach of the resolution to the public health hazard of smoking. If the American Academy of Pediatrics (or for that matter, the American Cancer Society) wanted to back effective measures, an entirely different type of resolution would have been adopted, one that would have put the emphasis On reaciling the younger generation.

Pediatric Education

IT IS now, 21 years since the American Academy of Pediatrics was founded. It is not inappropriate at this time to call attention to this significant anniversary of our birth. In June 1930, at Detroit, its organization was completed and officers were elected. A year later, the first annual meeting was held in Atlantic City. It was made clear at that time that pediatricians were now convinced that a society was needed whose principal objective would be not solely to promote social and scientific needs of its members, but which would exist primarily to promote child welfare. The means by which this major objective would be gained would be to raise the standards of pediatric education and pediatric research; to encourage better pediatric training in medical schools and hospitals; to promote scientific contributions to pediatric literature; and to relate the private practice of pediatrics to the larger field of the welfare of all children. The society should cooperate with others whose objectives were similar, but would he the democratic forum for pediatric thought and endeavor. Following is a quotation from the constitution adopted at the first meeting: "The object of the Academy shall be to foster and stimulate interest in pediatrics and correlate all aspects of the work for the welfare of children which properly come within the scope of pediatrics. The Academy shall endeavor to accomplish the following purposes: to maintain the highest possible standards of pediatric education in medical schools and hospitals, in pediatric practice, and in research; ... to maintain the dignity and efficiency of pediatric practice in its relationship to public welfare; to promote publications and encourage contributions to medical and scientific literature pertaining to pediatrics."

Gender dysphoria in children has become a hot-button topic; however, clinical data still remain sparse on the effects of hormone therapy and transitional surgery on the physical and psychological well-being of those children. The American College of Pediatricians (as opposed to the American Academy of Pediatrics) cites studies indicating that anywhere from 77 to 94 percent of boys and 73 to 88 percent of girls desist in GD; that is, following puberty the majority of children who experience GD will identify with their assigned biological sex. After reviewing the clinical studies, this paper addresses the notion of gender from a Thomistic perspective, locating gender as a differentiation in the matter of the person flowing from the essence of the soul, resulting from the power of generation as opposed to other differences such as sight, which functions the same regardless of material differences. As a result, the paper concludes that hormone therapy cannot be morally licit for children.

The Right

Occasionally, a simple, heart-warming document appears unexpectedly to win the public's heart. In the parlance of show business, such a presentation is called a "sleeper," i.e., a film or play that makes a hit. The Child with a Handicap, edited by Dr. Martmer, a past-president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, deserves the right to be called a "sleeper." Those of us who devote a major part of our practice to the handicapped child are often exposed to articles and textbooks which more often complicate an already complicated subject. The Child with a Handicap helps neutralize material which tends towards frightening pediatricians away from knowing more about an important phase of pediatric practice.

Age Limits

In 1938 the American Academy of Pediatrics took formal action and defined the age limits of pediatric practice as follows (Journal of Pediatrics, 13:127 and 13:266, 1938): The practice of pediatrics begins at birth and extends well into adolescence and in most cases it will terminate between the sixteenth and eighteenth year of life. In 1969, the Council on Pediatric Practice asked the Executive Board to up date this statement, and the Executive Board referred it to the Council on Child Health. After extensive review of several statements proposed by the Committee on Youth, the Council on Child Health recommended the following statement, which has been approved by the Executive Committee of the Academy for publication as official policy of the American Academy of Pediatrics. PEDIATRICS The purview of pediatrics includes the growth, development, and health of the child and therefore begins in the period prior to birth when conception is apparent. It continues through childhood and adolescence when the growth and developmental processes are generally completed. The responsibility of pediatrics may therefore begin during pregnancy and usually terminates by 21 years of age.

The Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics have not reached complete agreement in their currently recommended schedules for primary infant immunization with trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). To determine which if either of these is the more efficacious, 200 infants were immunized with trivalent OPV. Approximately 50% of these infants completed the 3 dose primary series recommended by the ACIP; remaining infants completed the 4 dose series recommended by the Academy. Microneutralization titers to all three poliovirus types were determined at appropriate time intervals. At the completion of the study, a satisfactory percentage of individuals in both groups exhibited microneutralization titers of 1:10 or greater to all three poliovirus types. During the course of study, minor differences were noted between the two groups in the percentage of individuals with titers against poliovirus types 1 and 3.
