Have you checked out the documentary Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? It is amazing and speaks to this question precisely. It is a production of California Newsreel and the website is http://www.unnaturalcauses.org/. ~adrianna Social disparities in health are a huge blindspot in all medical fields.

I told them I was stopping to check them out because I'd read about it on my favorite blog, and they wanted to know what your URL was. Hope that's okay...but yeah, you might have a new lurker or two who're acupuncturists. :-) On topic, BFP, I met some community acupuncturists in Minnesota 2 weeks ago.

I've been meeting/beginning to work with a lot of health care collaboratives/networks around LA this last year and the most invigorating and joyful work I see is really being done in south LA - around access, folks working together/streamlining the often frustrating referral process. thinking of liveblogging or at least livetweeting the conference for folks. also I'm excited that the org I work for is working in a real way to take sexual violence/dv/ipv seriously as an issue around reproductive health and real choices/options for women.

I wanted to talk about frequent flyer miles and such for AMC if it's not too late to get a ticket. But it seems better as kind of a private conversation.
