We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance. -Eric Hoffer
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow. -Anaïs Nin
I was surprised the counties in Wis that have large Native Indian populations, casinos and free clinics, are some of the unhealthiest counties. I was glad to see Dane Co in the top 10.
I’m in Franklin County, with is 64 out of 88.
Franklin county is just south of Delaware County which is #1 … and I’m just a couple of miles out of Madison County so I’m going to assume some of their #20 healthiness is rubbing off on Hilliard.
I would have loved to see that they had this information for Canadian Provinces also, just to see where Ontario stood in their health care and wellness
Our county ranked #20 in North Carolina, but at least it was in the top 10 percentile. This was interesting!
