Osteopathy Study
Meets Most MD
Criteria: Fishbein
Osteopathic training in the United
States—long regarded by the Amer-
ican Medical Association as infer-
ior to medical school training—now
measures up to most standards
required for an MD degree, Dr.
Morris Fishbein said last week at
Sinai Hospital of Detroit.
"There has been an evolution
from a period when there were
great differences in the quality of
education given to osteopaths and
physicians," he said. "At present
the quality of education in the few
remaining osteopathic schools is
relatively high."
Dr. Fishbein, 80, for many
years c on sidered the chief
spokesman for American medi-
cine, made his remarks in a
panel discussion billed as "a
friendly confrontation" with sev-
eral interns and residents at
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Oil Exploration in Sinai llas British Worried
LONDON (JTA ) —British gov-
ernment circles are 'concerned"
over oil exploration in the Israel-
occupied Sinai Peninsula and are
expected to ask Washington to
help curtail such operations as long
as the Sinai is under Israeli con-
trol.
An American company. known as
"Nlidhar" (Desert), is involved. It
maintains an office in London
where it is registered as a limited
company, but it is doubtful that the
British Foreign Office could inter-
vene effectively here. Foreign of-
fice circles stressed that their con-
cern was "purely political" and in
no way related to commercial oil
operations.
They said the Egyptians were
"aggrieved" by the oil exploration
in their territory under Israeli
aegis, and it was felt here that if
Israel continued, it would further
complicate the Middle East situa-
tion and make prospects for a set-
tlement even more remote.
The State Department disclaimed
knowledge last week of a report
that the U.S. had pressed Israel to
abandon the Midbar drilling proj-;
ect. The Israeli Embassy also de-'
nied the report. But a news service
said that "secret messages were

Dr. Fishbein stated that the
age of specialization evolved
through new knowledge and tech-
niques but added, "The ideal
would be for the specialist to

"But the government should
not pick your doctor, pick your
hospital, tell your doctor what to
do for you or how long he should
work for you," he said.

Sinai.
As editor of the Journal of the
AMA for 37 years, Dr. Fishbein
became widely known for his out- •
spoken views on controversial
.
medical issues.
•
He commented on the medical •
profession's increasing acceptance
of osteopaths in response to a ques-
tion from Dr. Gerald J. Levinson,
one of the first two osteopaths to
intern at Sinai.
In response to questions asked •
by residents Dr. Harold Rodner •
and Dr. Stanley Millman, Dr. Fish-

Great Britain and Sweden to get-
ting back to giving the general
practitioner greater status. This is
already happening here (in the
United States) with the desire to
create a special type of physi-
cian."
The role of the federal govern-
ment is changing from day to day
but "Medicare has set forth the
rule that the patient is the patient
of the attending physician . . .
otherwise Medicare will not pay
for him. Now, through government
control, we're going to get back to
a patient-doctor relationship that
has disappeared."
Fishbein continued. "I 'have an
idea that we are coming to a time
when everybody in the United
States will be covered by some
form of insurance for his medical
care. Under the American system,
the patient must be his own boss
over himself and his money, and
the government can insure that
money will be available for his
medical care.
