Doctors say medicine overspecialized By BRENDA C. COLEMAN Associated Press Writer Medicine is beCHICAGO coming overspecialized. driving it harup health costs and making der to find general practitioners, some doctors say. Twenty-fiv- e physician specialties and 56 subspecialties have accredited U.S. training programs, with 35 of the subspecialties recognized in the past five years. Dr. Carlos J.M. Martini wrote in today's Journal of the American Medical Association. Martini, AMA v ice president of medical education, said specialization is the product of advances in medical knowledge and must continue. "Whi't is bad." he wrote, "is when you have doctors who specialize in the left elbow alone." While specialties such as internal medicine, plastic surgery and urology have been established for decades, offshoots such as aerospace medicine, hard surgery and pediatric urology are among the newcomers, he said. Excessive specialization costs time and money in doctor training, d much of which is reimMedicare through bursements to teaching hospitals, and results in greater costs to patients. Martini said. The federal government spends $5 billion a year on doctor traintaxpayer-supporte- ing. doubling of the physician supply in the last 25 years, from 300,000 to 600,000, we still have large parts of the country that "Despite a have no (general ist) doctors," Dr. Marc L.

"We can take care of the whole family, from birth to death, without patients having to go to specialists for every different thing that happens," Tudor said. "And because we know the individual, we don't have to immediately reach for tests." Dr. J. Lee Dockery, executive vice president of the American Board of Medical Specialties in suburban Evanston, said Martini's article "is sort of a hysterical response" to the evolution of medical science. U.S. generalists are paid less and work longer and more inconvenient hours than specialists, a fact not lost on medical students, said Dr. Robert H. Waldman, vice president for medical student and resident education at the Association of American Medical Colleges. ct The state had gone without a budget since the start of the fiscal year July 1 because Wilson and the Legislature could not come to terms over how to close a $10.7 deficit caused by the recession and California's burgeoning population. During the stalemate, Wilson had held out for cuts of 10 percent, and eventually 25 percent, in welfare, and deep cuts in education and aid to local governments. The Democrats had pressed for more modest cuts in welfare and education. The final package reduces support for cities, counties and ether local governments by $1.3 billion and cuts welfare grant levels 5.8 percent, or $435 million. The cut amounts to $38 a month for a mother with two children. The Assembly approved the 1 school spending bill , and the 1 an hour Senate adopted it later. The school bill gives schools the same amount per pupil as last year but borrows $973 million against future years, thus reducing future spending on education. Lawmakers also gave in to Wilson's demand that they free him from the constraints of Proposition measure that 98, a fixed schools a percentguarantees age of the state budget. "Clearly this measure represents a compromise. It represents literally the best decision we can make tonight," said Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, who had led the fight against Wilson's education proposals. During the crisis, California issued about $3.4 billion worth of the IOUs to taxpayers, employees, vendors and others the first time since 1936 that the state had to pay its bill with IOUs. The deadlock threw state. government into turmoil, and hardship mounted as the deadlock dragged on. Most banks stopped honoring the IOUs, and state funding to nursing homes caring for 2,500 severely retarded people was cut off, threatening to put the homes' owners out of business. On Tuesday, California's treasurer began using money borrowed from a government employees' pension fund to cash IOUs. "Right now, I consider them the biggest bunch of babies in the world," said Kelly Reid, a state audit clerk who received her second IOU paycheck.

The presidential candidate has disclosed previously that he sought a position in the reserve officer training program at the University of Arkansas, but did not actually enter the program. He subsequently wrote the Arkansas ROTC chief, thanking the university officer for helping him avoid the draft. Clinton said Tuesday that he "never received any unusual or favorable treatment" to avoid the draft and that he knew nothing of his uncle's efforts to delay his induction or get him in a reserve unit. "It's all news to me," Clinton said while campaigning in Baltimore. "I've known the guy (Britt) for 30 years. He's never said anything to me about it. ever." Clinton also declared: "I have spoken the truth about my draft status." Campaigning today in Maryland, Clinton refused to discuss the subject further, saying, "I said all I'm going to say about it last night." "Of course he knew about Britt told the Times.

We checked with the draft board and they said ... they could release him if he wanted to go into the Navy." Britt described the billet in the Times as specially created for Clinton, but Ellis said openings were available. Clinton has said he got a draft induction notice in 1969, and was told by his draft board he could finish the school year. He then said he would join an ROTC program to avoid the draft but soon reversed that decision and submitted to a new draft lottery, only to draw a high number. He never was called.
