These unselfish and skilled American physicians. many of whom are highly skilled specialists. take time off from their practices at home to serve in Vietnam on an unpaid volunteer basis. receiving only a subsistence allowance and travel expenses under the terms of their contracts. I have had the privilege of personally witnessing the splendid care that these American physicians give to the Vietnamese civilian population at several of the hospitals in that little country. They treat war casualties. refugees. and other nonmilitary victims of disease. accidents. and illnesses of every kind. Their patients are of all ages. from infants to old men and women. The severe shortage of adequate Vietnamese medical personnel is one of the tragedies which a visitor to South Vietnam witnesses.
