Confession of a Practicologue
February 11th, 2009I used to be an idealist (one who is guided more by ideals than by practical considerations) and an ideologue (an often blindly partisan advocate or adherent of a particular ideology). You see, I used to believe that our healthcare system was providing good care and reasonable access to those who needed it. I am a nurse, so I should know, right? But a few years ago, I attended a house party, and at that party, I learned something what would rattle, uproot and finally demolish my beliefs about the healthcare system.
