Many years ago I read a book which had a profound effect on me, called ‘Medical Nemesis’ by Ivan Illich. He warned against handing over the autonomy of one’s body to someone else and I have heeded that counsel ever since - with good results. It was published back in 1974 - so some people knew then! Good topic to discuss -Pauline - we have so much programming to undo don’t we?
(He also wrote another goodie called ‘Deschooling Society’ which as a teacher I found fascinating - but that’s another story).
