Self-reliance in health care.

Great piece from Dr. Pauline Chen in the New York Times health section about healing the doctor-patient divide. The best part of the whole thing? You can participate in the conversation yourself here = "Doctors and Patients Start Talking"

Here's a little gem from the article: "In 1966, a Harris Poll found that almost three-quarters of Americans had “a great deal” of confidence in their health care leaders. That number has steadily dropped over the last four decades, so that today only slightly more than a third feel the same way, the same poll shows."
