Since the dawn of time, man has had to deal with illness, disease, recovery and death; that will never change. However, medical theories and practices do change. I have been privileged to witness many changes in the practice of medicine and nursing. Nurses no longer wear starched white uniforms and caps and doctors no longer are expected to take Wednesdays off to play golf. Nurses are now in the front lines of health care as independent medical providers of care in all aspects of medicine whether it is in primary care or specialties like cardiology, neurology or oncology, etc.
