At the heart of the CAN movement is anger at the failure of medicine to serve community. 

I am writing from the United States, the land of the myth of the rugged individualist.  I say myth because the history of any country including this one is that of interdependence of its peoples.   In 2008 the entire world is interdependent.  The sub-primehousing loan fallout in this country is having global repercussions, for instance.  We rise and fall together.  With this backdrop, what is the responsibility of medicine?

I’m usually ready for blog week but I’m gearing up to movemy clinic in July so time got away from me.  So, I’ll tell you about my wonderful week at CA lastweek. 

I used to have a day job teaching clinical nursing.  I quit the job in December and got aroundto taking the textbooks back on Feb. 29. My top week before last week was seeing 51 visits last September.
