Act LIke A Four Year Old !

That was part of the title of an article that caught my attention this week -- any article that invites me to act like a child is worth reading !

Well, the gist of the article, which was addressing those in the healthcare industry, was that in order to implement changes, one must act like a four year old --- specifically, that phase where a four year old incessantly asks, "WHY?" Because by continuing to ask why, you can open your mind to understanding what needs to be and what doesn't, what makes sense and what doesn't, what needs to be questioned and what doesn't, and, what needs to be done differently and what doesn't.

As caregivers and patients, continuing to ask, "WHY?" is an important thing to do. Now more than ever, all those involved in the process of giving and receiving medical care should be "acting like a four year old" !!!
