Doctors Ending House Calls in Chicago After 18 Years
A Chicago doctors group unanimously voted to discontinue emergency house calls after 18 years. Dr. Robert Mussell, 76, organized the service for the Chicago Medical Society and cited a shortage of general practitioners and rising specialization as key factors. The panel, once 290 doctors strong, now has about 40 active volunteers per 6,000 members, with many moving to the suburbs and hospitals expanding emergency wards reducing demand.
