NEWS AND NOTES

A survey of 238 families in Brisbane (MedicalJournal ofAustralia 1985;142:539-41) showed that almost half had at some time consulted a practitioner of alternative medicine. Around 76% were satisfied with orthodox and alternative medicine; 16% were satisfied with orthodox but not alternative medicine; and 3% were dissatisfied with orthodox medicine but satisfied with alternative medicine. These findings, say the authors, provide no support for the belief that patients go to alternative medicine because they are disenchanted with their conventional doctors.
