Different approaches to the solution of the radial equation for the hydrogen atom are examined. We point out several important issues: In the conventional series solution method, when two roots of the indicial equation are found to differ by an integer, there can be only one independent solution according to the known theorem; in the recent Laplace transform approach adopted by Shertzer, the asymptotic behaviour of the solution was implicitly assumed. We traced back the original treatment of Schrodinger and reviewed his rigorous Laplace transform approach. Finally, the suggestion of how to present this subject at different levels is discussed.
