Abstract

This tape is an interview with Doctor Durham. Within this tape, he discusses Medicaid and Medicare, the relationships between doctors and patients, and his time in the Korean War. He states that the relationship between doctors and patients is on a decline and should be fixed because it would eventually rot the medical field. Technology progression has not helped matter as well between the two. As well he discusses organizational medicine. See more at Mylie E. Durham, Jr., MD Papersand its finding aid.
