THE PRESSURE BUILDS

 This is the way most things that finally change start out.

A lone wolf or two long before anyone else starts howling. At first he's just a lone wolf. Most ignore, some even try to marginalize.

Change never goes down easy.

A few days ago I had a conversation with a physician I respect, a doctor who's been practicing for more than 35 years. We were discussing medicines and their side effects.

A particular name came up, one we both had much experience with though mine had been somewhat different from his. At one point he jovially told me he'd been prescribing it for more than 20 years without any problems and he wasn't about to change it now.

People who bring change are usually received with the same affection as whistleblowers. Check out the history behind gastric ulcers and H-pylori.
