To correctly appreciate the place of the MD in modern French society, 3 points must be made clear: (a) the composition of the med profession, (b) its activities during the past 150 yrs, & (c) the participation of MD's in pol'al life. For several yrs, persistent efforts have made it possible to estimate quite accurately the actual number of practicing MD's in France. In contrast, an ignorance of the way in which the soc action of the group has evolved has been detrimental to the members themselves. Professional org's have ordinarily been limited to defensive activities & have been incapable of furthering any organized med program. Estimates of the number of MD's in local elected groups, in the Assembly & in the ministries leaves little doubt concerning the importance of their pol'al role. However, no systematic res has yet been attempted in this area. Tr by J. A. Broussard from IPSA.
