The liquid state of modernity is corrosive to continuity.

There was an opening in the ER program at King Drew, so I spent the next month there, fascinated with the range of pathology that I observed, the diversity of skill that the ER physicians had to acquire, the variety of cases, and the ability to interact closely with people.

The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.

There is no doubt that environmentally related diseases will continue to pose problems in the future.

Compulsive modernization is the insatiable desire to change and grow.

Unless physicians stand together to fight threats and injustices, our practices cannot remain viable in the future.

Effective leaders of change must serve equally as agents of change and protectors of continuity.
