Abstract

Medicine of all the branches of science has lagged behind the power curve in ages past and is doing so again in the era of information, frequently using the excuse that medicine is an art than a science. In alarming contrast, the general population has come to expect immediacy in all aspects of life as well as death. They are clearly frustrated with the inability of purveyors of healthcare to answer their need for immediacy and resolution. This manifests itself in the increasing diatribe against health maintenance organizations and the growth in tort claims, the widening chiasm between the healthcare providers and their beneficiaries.
