Popis:	To understand what has happened to our country, our people, and our professionals, we need to recognize the degradation of underlying attitudes and values. Among young people, conventional moral sentiments have given way to radical individualism. In medicine, the emphasis on economics and technology has been pushing out empathetic caring and service to humanity. Inured to violence, the American public has accepted human cruelty as normal. In some political circles, cooperation has become a bad word. Yet, altruism and compassion are not totally dead, as real-life anecdotes illustrate. Physicians in their practices can model concern and kindliness, utilizing voice and presence on behalf of unfortunates such as troubled youth, and fostering benevolence toward those who differ in body or mind.
