Medical Buzz Words Signal Economic Take Over
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
When the buzz words of medical practice change, they reflect a change in how it works. Today's medicine now looks at hospitals as factories and office visits as economic transactions. Patients are no longer patients but consumers or customers. Doctors and nurses are considered providers.
