I'm so impressed by your post, and I wanted to alert you to a project that is right up your alley!<br /><br />I'm helping out on a project called SpeakHealth.org, & your thoughts echo some of the issues we are dealing with. Just look at our non-profit project's mission statement and TELL me it doesn't relate to your post:<br /><br />"To improve health by linking the efforts of those in medicine with those in the arts in order to stimulate meaningful public discussion that can expand our culturally normal views of health, healthcare and medicine, and ultimately affect personal and collective choices." <br /><br />I really think you'll appreciate what SpeakHealth is trying to do, and perhaps have helpful suggestions and opinions to share. (But bear with us, because the site is in its infancy!)<br /><br />Thanks for letting me post here, and I've definitely looking forward to more posts- and tweets from you. <br />~ccarolinehttp://www.speakhealth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234447925221638598.post-9871712740674855932009-02-10T09:18:00.000-05:002009-02-10T09:18:00.000-05:00"It's not about me," he said.
