I would love to hear more about the changes you've seen. We patients have of course experienced these changes as well, but without the understanding of what's shaping our care from the inside. For example, how hospital care changed when for-profit hospitals became the norm????
Ultimately, my mom's experience is not so different from my own, with respect to the fluoroquinolones. Even when my achilles tendon was splitting, my doctor wanted to denied that it was related to the antibiotic. What is frightening though is seeing someone as elderly, weak, and disoriented as my mom having to hand herself over to this type of system. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to be in the same town as her so that I can oversee all of her care.

Thanks for writing, Pat!
