TY - JOUR T1 - MEdical america seen with foreign eyes Y1 - 2013/01/23 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2012.145186 JO - JAMA SP - 325 EP - 325 VL - 309 IS - 4 N2 - Sane, unbiased criticism must ever rank among the helpful influences that make for progress. The debt that American medicine owes to Great Britain, to France and to Germany, each of which has in turn furnished instruction and inspiration to eager students and travelers from our shores, has often been referred to in public with becoming emphasis and gratitude. Eminent German physicians and investigators have published their impressions of the status of medical science in America with an impartial insight that has dictated many just comments on our shortcomings. We recall a particularly trenchant commentary of a few years ago by Prof. F. von Müller of Munich. Warm commendation and friendly adverse criticism were mingled in becoming fashion.
