我们也常常因为一味追求舒适和安全而丧失了年轻时的冒险精神。不久前，我们的报纸上说，没有年轻医生提出要担任希尔德岛探险队的医官。还有一些招聘乡村医院医生的广告，每天都无人应答。现代生活强调污水和热水系统、城市生活的便利设施以及高等学位和文凭的魅力，这是否使我们失去了冒险精神？在信用方面，我相信在过去的日子里有了改进。以前让我们这个行业的一些成员产生分歧的许多琐碎的嫉妒，现在正被友好和更好的同行关系所取代。毫无疑问，战争促成了这一点，因为那些在部队服役并分享共同的困难和不适的人对他们的职业兄弟变得更加宽容。我们的英国医学协会也做了很多工作来培养我们之间的良好精神。但是，无论怎么强调都不为过，我们每个人的榜样力量对整个职业都能带来不可估量的好处或危害。今天在国外有许多人特别喜欢诋毁我们；我们一直受到国有化和失去自由的威胁，现在仍然如此；我们一再被告知，我们已经失去了我们传统上所拥有的公众的高度尊重。所有这些都对我们提出了挑战，要求我们提高并保持我们的道德标准，作为克雷萨的妻子，我们的道德标准应该是不容置疑的。
So often, too, do we loseour youthful spirit of adventure in our preoccupationfor comfort and security. Not long ago our newspapersstated that no young doctors had offered for the position of medical officer to the Heard Islandexpedition. Otheradvertisements, calling for doctors for country hospitals, go unansweredevery day. Has modern life, with its emphasis upon sewerageand hot water systems,the amenitiesof city life and the glamour of higher degreesand diplomas,causedus to loseour spirit of adventure? On the credit side I believe that thereare improvements on the olden days. Many of the petty jealousies that formerly divided some of the membersof our profession are being replacedby friendlinessand better intra-professional fellowship. The war has undoubtedlycontributedto this, in that those who served in the forces and shared common hardshipsand discomforts becamemore tolerant of their professionalbrethren. Our British Medical Association has also done much to foster a good spirit among us. But it cannot be over-emphasizedthat the force of example by each and everyoneof us can do incalculable good, or harm, to the professionas a whole. There are many abroad today who take particular pleasurein discrediting us; we have been,and are still being, threatened with nationalizationand the loss of our freedom; and we arebeingtold repeatedlythat we have lost the high regard of the public that we have traditionally held. All this constitutesa challengeto us to raise and to maintain our ethical standards,which should be, as Cresar'swife, above suspicion.
