Psychic contacts
Article Abstract:
Jean, a telephone psychic with the Psychic Network, predicted that the health care system is headed for trouble with consumers. She is a 10-year survivor of cancer who was troubled by the attitudes of doctors and nurses. Too many health care workers forget that patients are human beings who are frightened. Instead of treating patients with courtesy, compassion, and respect, hospital staffs often think of them as an impersonal treatment option or wasted time in a busy schedule.
