Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The board may employ a physician to
attend, when necessary, the patients of the county hospital, provided,
however, that the board of county commissioners may enter into contracts with
groups of licensed physicians for medical attendance upon patients of the
county hospital or other persons receiving medical attendance at county
expense. They may provide for the employment, at some kind of manual labor, of
such of the patients as are capable and able to work and the attending
physicians must certify to the person in charge or lessee of the county
hospital the names of such of the patients as are incapable of manual labor,
and when any such patient becomes capable the physician shall certify that
fact.
