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.
