To the Editor: In their article "Professional Courtesy -- Current Practices and Attitudes" (Nov. 25 issue),¹ Levy et al. do not mention an important point. To be asked to treat one's colleague or his or her family is the greatest honor bestowed on a physician. It clearly bespeaks the deepest trust and respect for the physician's skills and practice of medicine. I personally would gladly treat any physician or that physician's family members, no matter what the reimbursement.
