  vulgarization of Medicine by imposition of 
  "merchant mercenary " standards that are 
  undermining the ethics of the medical profession}
  THE IMPOSITION OF THE WORD IDEA
  " CLIENT " IN PLACE OF " PATIENT " 
  ACCOMMODATES THE PRINCIPLE THAT THE 
  " RECIPIENT OF THERAPY " formerly PATIENT 
  has become "ONLY A CLIENT" or
  " WHO PATRONIZES for A FEE " 
  THE PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE THAT THE FORMER 
  " FIDUCIARY " OR PROFESSION MEDICAL ETHICS 
  OR MORAL MEDICAL CODE ARE 
  BEING SERIOUSLY UNDERMINED 
  FORMERLY THE THERAPIST HAD THE AUTHORITY TO 
  PRESCRIBE THE HEALTH CARE NEEDS FOR HIS PATIENTS 
  AND THEREFORE COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH ACTIONS
  UNDER THE "HEALTH MAINTENANCE" ORGANIZATION or HMO IDEA 
  DECISIONS ARE MADE BY CORPORATIONS 
  ON BEHALF OF THEIR " CLIENT " 
  PHYSICIANS ARE SIMPLY "PROVIDERS" 
  THIS IS A " CAVIAT EMPTOR " or 
  " CONSUMER BE AWARE " MODEL 
  THE PROFIT FOR CORPORATIONS RESTS ON THE ABILITY 
  TO "DENY" MEMBERSHIP TO THE "UNDESIRABLE" OR
  RESTRICT CARE EXPENDITURES OF "CLIENTS"
  SYMMETRY SUGGESTS THAT PHYSICIANS WILL RESPOND BY 
  ATTEMPTS TO SELECT "CLIENTS" WITH "DESIRABLE" 
  CONDITIONS AND PRESCRIBE "MOST REIMBURSABLE" SERVICES 
  FURTHERMORE HMO CORPORATIONS WERE GRANTED 
  EXTRAORDINARY IMMUNITIES WHILE "MEDICAL" MALPRACTICE 
  HAS GROWN SUFFICIENTLY TO ENGENDER 
  SPECIALIZED PREDATORY LEGAL PRACTICES THAT LED SOME 
  STATES TO ENACT "LIMITATIONS" 
  PERHAPS AMONG THE LEGAL PROFESSION WILL EMERGE 
  EXPERTS DEDICATED TO "HELP" THE ILL WITH THEIR 
  "HEALTH CARE RIGHTS" BUT HEALTH CARE NEEDS 
  CAN NOT WAIT FOR COURTS PROCEEDINGS NOR DOES
  ILLNESS RESPOND TO COMMANDS BY JURIES OR JUDGES

   of any further value}
