Survey of Human Needs Proposed in Address to L. S. U. Students -- A plea for an independent economic-scientific commission to make a detailed study of human needs, with the emphasis on medical service, was made Saturday by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, who addressed junior and senior students of the Louisiana State university medical school at the medical center on Tulane avenue.
Dr. Fishbein, who came to the city from a meeting of the Gulf Goast Clinical Society at Biloxi, Miss., is a guest of Dr. Clyde Brooks, head of the department of pharmacology at the L. S. U. medical school. He will leave New Orleans today for Chicago.
Introduced by Dr. Rigney D'Aunoy, dean of the L. S. U. medical school, Dr. Fishbein discussed the social aspects of medical care, tracing the development of scientific specialization and stressing the need of an exact understanding of problems connected with medical service.
