The good old days?

Article Abstract:

The healthcare industry seems contentious in 1996, but this does not compare to the fierce, petty battles waged by physicians in the last two decades. For example, there was a big fight over medical staff bylaws, and another over "cookbook medicine," or the idea of standardizing clinical practice. Petty fights over medicine are a waste of time, and healthcare professionals should take their cue from Jack O'Reilly, who would bang together the heads of his children if they engaged in fights over minor issues.

The enemy is us

Article Abstract:

The baby boom generation has entered its 40 year-era of leadership that will either lift society out of the healthcare crisis or bring the system down with it. There are 77 million people that were born between the years 1946 and 1964 who are now beginning to age and face increasing medical needs. The healthcare crisis has been called intergenerational warfare, but actually the baby boom generation now comprises the government and so must take responsibility for what happens.

Happy endings

Article Abstract:

Assisted living facilities make a significant difference in the lives of the elderly. They allow people to remain in the communities they live in and be surrounded by the people they know and love. They take the fear out of being alone and living in homes they no longer can maintain. Since many people cannot afford these services, assisted living will be on the forefront of the economic wars raging in the health care industry.
