Words & Reality

The story in today's Albuquerque Journal was headlined: "Lovelace Buys Cimarron Clients." the sub-head told us "38,000 Customers Involved in Deal."
Right on. That is the truth. In 2004, we no longer are patients to professional doctors and nurses. We arethe "clients" and "customers" of businesses in the health trade.
Funny, though - Lovelace Sandia's advertisement on page 4 of today's Journal says "Accepting New Patients."
