I checked, by the way – I did the Googling myself.
Medicine is a profession, and professionals prefer the status quo. We stable middle-agers have a lot to lose.
But what would it mean to occupy medicine?
1. Patient-centered care without compromise.
2. Quality care without regard to perverted economic incentives or institutional hideboundedness.
3. Socially conscious medicine implementing public health.
Let's add to the list. Can we occupy medicine incrementally, within our institutions and currently existing structures?
