Shortage of Doctors?

The U.S. faces the possibility of a serious shortage of doctors. So said, last week, a man who should know--Thomas Parran, Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service. At present, there are about 160,000 practicing physicians throughout the country. If the U.S. enters the war, the Army will need at least 40,000. Only 5,000-odd doctors graduate from medical schools each June.
