It's not what you know

After continuing to follow the debate that is spreading through the HBC a thought occurred to me. It is perhaps more of a matter of who you know. Bob is related to doctors … my own father was an administrator at the hospital where I received the majority of my medical treatment. I am sure that to some degree the fact that I knew my doctors socially influenced the way they undertook my care. For my doctors I wasn’t just Amber Briggs, patient. I was the daughter of Norman Briggs, head of the St. Clare Center; I was the playmate of their children. They had a personal interest in my health as well as a professional one.
