I often wonder how such arrogance and lack of 'bedside manner"/interpersonal skill gets past medical school; how it isn't caught, and mentored, corrected, curtailed, addressed. Healing presence is a huge factor in care-giving. I"m grateful that you and your friend have shared openly about this.

All of these academicians and physicians who are so far down their own rabbit holes that they can't consider or admit that what they've been doing all these years is, at best useless, and at worst terribly destructive, are not being true to the spirit of the degrees they hold. I can't imagine how tiring and frustrating it is to continue reminding them that there is life "outside the box," but I am sure-as-shit glad you continue to do it and I will keep trumpeting your message far and wide as well.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-12985049835566295422015-05-09T09:24:52.671-07:002015-05-09T09:24:52.671-07:00This is an incredible post.

When we midwives were back in the bad old days, we had (and still have) each other for support. We knew we were right and we fought for ourselves and our clients. It's still a struggle but as Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."<br /><br />XX Beth<br />beth coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671290135595711572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-61434532835631592152015-05-09T07:37:07.363-07:002015-05-09T07:37:07.363-07:00I am so lucky to have your mind to meld with.

I would have had no idea what was going on or what to do, or more importantly, what not to do. We have to talk about this mess. There's a lot to clean up.Allison Ray Benavideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513628963796782490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-19749334960946966552015-05-09T07:07:39.347-07:002015-05-09T07:07:39.347-07:00Rant-worthy.Rant-worthy.Carrie Wilson Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586157395539583862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-5342395327779569942015-05-08T20:33:49.716-07:002015-05-08T20:33:49.716-07:00At the Epilepsy Foundation Brain Summit last month...At the Epilepsy Foundation Brain Summit last month, I was a speaker and thus considered faculty.

I hate that word hegemony too. <br /><br />Honestly, every time I read about the drug regimen Sophie was prescribed, I am horrified anew. I am glad you write it. I am glad you speak truth to power.
