A FOURTH AVENUE 1\1.D., who doesn't want any notoriety, has adopted an uno1ihodo" practice of let- ting patients decide how much they are going to pay. For more than a year now each bill that he sends out has been accompanied by a little green card, which states: "Our fee schedule is based upon stand• ard practice in this area, and conforms to the Cal- ifornia Medical Association statewide fee survey. However, for persons whose financial circumstances are difficult due to extensive illness, unemployment, a limited retirement pension, or for other reasons, we will be glad to reduce our fees. Under these circum- stances we suggest a 25 percent reduction, but more or less may be appropriate to your situation. No dis• cussion is necessary-simply write the amount of fee reduction you choose on the tatement with your re- mittance." So far nearly all of his patients-whose ideas may be as old-fashioned as the doctor's - have paid the full amount. ARIUISTEAD CARTER, the tennis-playing squire of Mission Hills, is tbe surprised donor of two lighted tennis courts in Israel which l1ave been named the Carter Tennis Center. ( A Jewish friend, Joe Shane, talked him into it.) But now the regulars who play at Carter's courts in Mission Hills are howling for him to light theirs. . . .
