I agree fully with what you say abou...Great post . I agree fully with what you say about patients not being "customers". Here in Canada a mental health patient is called (even worse than "customer"): a "consumer".<BR/><BR/>I absolutely hate that word and cringe everytime I hear it used. I feel like I am using up all the resources. <BR/><BR/>Consumerism is the "F" word of the 21st century, why the hell would they choose that word to describe those of us who are no less patients than someone with heart disease, or diabetes, or any other chronic health condition.
