Using the official data of WHO statistics, the impact of some social, biological and medical factors on infant mortality rates (IMR) was compared for countries with very high, high, moderate and low IMR: Factors reflecting a low quality of life (illiteracy, low level of women's education, low urbanization, malnutrition etc.) showed a highly significant statistic correlation with increased IMR. The lack of a nationwide family planning program and a low level of medical care (prenatal care, presence of medical personnel during delivery, availability of contraceptives etc.) act in the same direction. In developing countries the GNP per capita did not markedly influence the IMR nor the rate of infants of low birth weight (UGR). One of the main reasons of this phenomenon is probably the wide gap of the income between different social groups in these countries. In contrast to this the GNP in economically developed countries (Europe, Australia, North America) correlates very closely with IMR and UGR. The impact of family planning differs between countries with legally artificial abortion and those with a more restrictive legislation. The nutritional status (i. e. in these countries hyperalimentation) shows a positive correlation with UGR but no impact on IMR. Some countries (in Europe Greece, Spain, Ireland/Yugoslavia, Romania) show a significant deviation (positive/negative) from the mean calculated according to the WHO data. These deviations can be (and should be) analysed for detecting and evaluating factors which could be influenced by strategies of social or/and medical interventions in order of further improvement of IMR.

Recent psychiatric literature is reviewed to demonstrate the general state of clinical psychiatry. The advent of chemical therapies requires that psychiatrists receive comprehensive training in organic and dynamic approaches. Consultative collaboration between psychiatrists and physicians is encouraged though there is also a conspicuous need for physician training in consultative techniques and referrals. Diagnostic classifications by the psychiatrist are discussed. Rehabilitation methods in the community and family require more research and awareness on the part of psychiatrists. The manifold variety of investigations, studies, treatments, and rehabilitation of schizophrenics is discussed at length and the often contradictory conclusions are noted. The scope of analysis and treatment of depression is reviewed and certain etiological hypotheses associated backgrounds and depression are shown to be invalid. Suicide and its prognostication is covered as well as narcotic addiction and other disorders such as hyperphagia, anorexia, and dystonia musculorum deformans. 1 study is cited, based on an investigation of 120 children born as a result of the mothers being refused an abortion, suggesting that early rejection rather than early bereavement contributes to a higher risk of psychiatric difficulties in later life.

A caseof a pregnant woman who developed a rare amlignancy during pregnancy is discussed. The malignancy was diagnosed with the help of sonogram work. It was deemed necessary that chemotherapy and hyperalimentation be tried, in order to sustain the pregnancy to term. Details of the treatment are described. It is important that lipids not be used in hyperalimentation because excess amounts can be harmful tot he fetus. Certain types of chemicals should be administered during the 1st trimester of pregnancy because they may cause fetal malformation. In discussion following the article, other doctors agreed that hyperalimentation was a correct course of therapy. 1 doctor indicated that abortion and active treatment of the cancer are preferable to maintenance with chemotherapy.

Our simple definition of ethics is good thought, speak and action. Epistemology means the hypothesis of facts about thought, speech and action. Medical practice is all means of medicine. Medicine classifies people into normal and abnormal. The abnormal are the sick. They loose some organs or those normal looking organs are dysfunctional. They are social problems, some can be treated, and some do not get the appropriate care. The problems of society of normal people are overeating and obesity, abortion, drug abuse, promiscuity, torture, terrorism, disobeying rules and order, corruption, brain-washing and unethical advertisements, etc. On the other hand, the social problems of the abnormal are down, deafness, blindness, dumb, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus and cancer, etc. An example of the social-doctor problem is the mal distribution of doctors in rural areas. It was reported by the ministry of public health that the ratio of doctor to population to be 1:800 in Bangkok and 1:5, 700 in some rural areas in the north eastern part of Thailand. The doctors, themselves, are at a high grade of worker and intelligent quotient. They know all the problem and, at the same time, create problems, both, faster than the general population can do. It affects good and bad in the society. In the past, present and the foreseeable future the medical students get their studies in the western style. Their medical schools are situated in big cities. These schools are old and famous. They learn their medical procedure in a big hospital of more than 400 beds in the inpatient department wards. Their instructors and professors are highly qualified, are middle class people and well accepted in the society. Their families are lovely and warm. Their children study in the first class schools in town. The medical students feel very happy and appreciate seeing their professors in television routinely at prime time. In conclusion, their professors are an example of role model for them to follow. Everyone looks for security in her/his profession. Facts need no proof and reference. People with justice in mind should believe and understand the above mentioned. This leads to the problem of mal distribution of doctors in rural areas, why do doctors live in big cities or wish to be in the private sector? In fact, not many a number of doctors serve in the rural area. About 4-5 of them, their name will be announced yearly as the best rural doctor award. After the big ceremony, lasted not longer than a month, it is hard to remember their name. They are proud to be praised, it pushes them into stress intentionally with all the best of their intelligence and the total of their body strength to work harder in rural. Unfortunately their earning, the security of their profession, the increased chance of being sued, to get caught in the medical litigation, the expenses of their family social status and the study of their children cannot be compared to of those doctors in big city and/or in the private sector. Mal distribution of doctors in remote rural areas has been a persisting unresolved problem in many parts of the world, why not apply the principles of ethics and epistemology? They have been left, untouched forever.
