Fifty Years Of Healthcare Experience

Or, How did we get from there to here?

A sure sign of aging is an uncontrollable urge to write the history of one's life. (This is a process made easy by owning two things; a computer and a website.)

This is not so much a personal history, but a story of what has taken place in my chosen profession during my watch. "Watch" is the proper word here. Although I participated in the benefits or penalties, I had no control over or influence on major healthcare changes. My involvement was as a man on a raft floating down the Mississippi; no place to go but where the current takes you.

Navigation Tip: At the end of each section is a link to the next in the series, leading to the final one which is like the last contestant on American Idol. You could cheat and get to the top without reading the bottom, but that's opening your Christmas presents on Thanksgiving Day. Shame!
