Thanks to Ellen Khalifa at Scrubs and Suits for a nice introduction to
SPM, “A Chance to Get behind the Wheel: the Society for Participatory
Medicine.” http://bit.ly/wFd9Ep

“For decades baby boomers have been associated with movements
advocating equality, cooperatives and shared experiences. But far from
being some relic of the 1960’s, activist attitudes continue to be part
of our social fabric.”

Well, erm, Ellen – yeah, the society was founded by the “aging
boomers” you cite, but half our board is post-boomer. :-) (We don’t
have statistics on the membership at large, but the board we do know!)

And just for the record, this is the sign of a revolution that’s
succeeding: it’s being adopted by the next generation. Woot.
