Abstract
By long tradition, members of the medical profession place a high value on the opportunity to relate to patients on an independent basis, without intervention by a third party. In an era of high-technology hospital treatment many doctors have become answerable in various ways to the owners of the relevant fixed capital but, generally speaking, they have also retained the right to undertake private medical practice. That holds true even in countries where the state has acquired a virtual monopoly over facilities for the investigation and treatment of in-patients.
