Medical Priestcraft: a National Peril (Classic Reprint)

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from Medical Priestcraft: A National Peril The present work is written in fulfilment of my promise to endeavour "from the outside to rouse the conscience of the profession and the consciousness of the people and their Parliament to the grave need of the amendment of the Medical Acts, and of the far greater dangers" (as I allege) "of the Medical Acts Amendment Bill, some of the provisions of which are calculated not only to aggravate the ills from which the rank and file of the profession are suffering, but to constitute a public peril of the first magnitude." The anomalous position created by the refusal of the Executive Committee of the General Medical Council to accede to my request and remove my name from the Medical Register - a refusal, the object of which is fairly evident - is exposed in the correspondence with the Registrar of the Council. This action will enable the profession and public to judge of the lengths to which the Committee is prepared to push its malignant powers, - if any fresh evidence were desirable on the subject. For my own part, the decision of the Committee in nowise obscures my line of duty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
