Weblogs and the links to other folks are wonderful. One finds interesting people and contexts that mirror one's own situation. One of the bloggers I subscribe to had a link to a post http://urlgreyhot.com/drupal/node/view/1612 on children's readiness to learn.
This isn't only true of children, it is the human condition. We are talking about this very same thing in the context of heatlhcare, and patient's readiness to change things about themselves, their habits and behaviors to improve their health. We are talking about physician's readiness to engage in real dialogue and relationships with their patients, and their readiness to accept the patient where they are.
