The National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health are also modeled on the work funded by Rockefel

ADVICE ON ACQUIRING FINANCIAL SECURITY
Open in a new tab
Herb Shriner (1918–1970), American humorist, radio and television personality, and famous harmonica player, once said, “Our doctor would never really operate unless it was necessary. He was just that way. If he didn’t need the money, he wouldn’t lay a hand on you.”
Similarly, a Punch cartoon in 1925 illustrated this conversation:
Doctor: What did you operate on Jones for?
Surgeon: A hundred pounds.
Doctor: No, I mean what had he got?
Surgeon: A hundred pounds.
Physicians are often faced with dilemmas: one option may provide a nice financial reward to the physician and the other, none or little personal financial benefit. Physicians of course have a fiduciary responsibility to do only what is best for the patient. Financially insecure physicians might be less prone to obey this fiduciary principle than financially secure physicians. Physicians, in my view, should always have an income where a decision for a patient is never influenced by personal financial reward! This type of thinking prompted this piece about physicians’ acquiring financial security. It is based on investing in the stock market over a 50-year period.
