PY - 2014 T2 - Understanding Medical Professionalism AB - When I was 22 I was camping in the Pacific Northwest and broke my arm. I was a student with no health insurance and no money. I went to a couple of emergency rooms in the small towns in the area and all of them told me they couldn't treat me. Finally I found a physician—not an orthopedic surgeon—probably an internist—who would see me. We both scanned a book about fractures to see how to set my arm. When asked by his office staff how to code the bill, he said code it “H” for humanitarian.
