"lyr A N Y of my ,
patients do not seem to realise that u they may join ANY j approved friendly so-
ciety, benefit society.

medical benefit scheme.
Should thev previously î have withdrawn from an ' organisation, it is not
necessary to reaffillate with that, society only.
Nor is It necessary to join within one's own sub-
urb.
t Another point which does X not seem clear Is that
they can receive treatment from any qualified medical
i practitioner within the, ? Commonwealth, and still ' claim reimbursement for
their fees on nroduction of that doctor's receipt.
