TONIGHT IS THE FIRST OF A HOPEFULLY LONG RUN OF MEDICAL DISCUSSIONS THAT REACH THE REALMS OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF MEDICINE AND THE ROOTS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT.  HOW CAN WE TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES?  WHO ARE WE?   WHY ARE WE HERE?   DOES IT MATTER?   WHY DO I WRITE IN ALL CAPS? 

 If we assume that we are here because we are, and we are who we are, and it does matter that we are here, then it matters how we treat ourselves. That is where we jump into this quagmire(sp?) of a medical system that we were born into. It's too late for me to generate how I feel we can change it tonight, but wait till tomorrow....
