| Annotation | Brief report on Dr. J. Walter Carr’s (b. 1862) oration at the Medical Society of London. The oration probably had the title “From Cradle to Crematorium” and depicts a dystopia in which a socialist government functioning as a “medical autocracy” sets the rules governing health care in ways that severely restrict freedom. He concluded that it would be better to be free than healthy. At the time Carr was a consulting physician at the Royal Free Hospital. |
