I wholeheartedly agree. As a fellow healthcare worker, I know that we are overdue an overhaul of the way things work in healthcare. Our budgets are blown, patients are disgruntled and everyday I see colleagues throwing their towels in. We need a new way forward that is empowering for patients and professionals alike. And I like this as a grassroots movement.
