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.
