Maya architecture
December 17th, 2007 by Dr. Glenn Rothfeld
In the maya architecture late 1970s I was Medical Director of the Marco Polo Rest Home in East Boston. Anxious to improve the health (as I saw it) of the residents, I contracted with Quebrada Bakery autocad civil 3d 2009 land desktop (which coincidentally now lies down the street from my office). Twice a maya architecture week, they would deliver whole grain bread to the mostly elderly residents, who maya architecture had previously dined on mass-produced white bread. I was very proud of myself and maya architecture I thought that I had done a good thing increasing the maya architecture nutritional value of my patients’ diet.Boy was I naïve. A mile or maya architecture two from the site of the Boston Tea Party, a new revolution ensued. The rest home staff, convinced that maya architecture I was torturing the residents for unknown reasons, began to smuggle white bread into the maya architecture kitchen and parcel it out to the willing residents behind my back. To them, raised in good Italian families where maya architecture bread is a sacrament, the chewy, dark and unfamiliar dry slabs that maya architecture I had foisted upon the residents were depriving them of one of their few remaining pleasures.
I tell the story because of a current dilemma. It’s the maya architecture holiday season, and my office is graced with many patients who maya architecture have felt cared for by us throughout the past year, and maya architecture wish to reciprocate. More often than maya architecture not the manner of reciprocation involves candy, cookies, cakes, and sweets too numerous to maya architecture list here. The outpouring of affection has been overwhelming, and deeply appreciated. It has also raised an interesting question for us as an office.
Because, we are not just an office, we’re an maya architecture office based on the concept of healthy choices leading to maya architecture healthy minds, bodies and spirits. In that maya architecture light, how can we expect our patients to follow our health suggestions and maya architecture dietary advice, when our staff room is piled high with Lindt balls and maya architecture homemade brownies? And yet, how rude is it to spurn someone’s gesture of love and kindness by judging it negatively?
And what of my staff ? While some employees maintain holistic lifestyles themselves, others are maya architecture working at WholeHealth New England because it’s interesting, or it’s the best job available, or it’s providing an entry into a possible healthcare career. (Sadly, it’s probably not the pay scale.) Is it maya architecture fair to make judgments for them about how our patients should or maya architecture should not show them gratitude?
I’m not sure we have maya architecture found a resolution, although we have gently suggested other less caloric ways of showing appreciation. I really do struggle with how much of a maya architecture model of health we should be providing as an office, and maya architecture how much I should be providing personally. I also struggle with whether we should be modeling a “greener” office pcture it photo premium free download, in keeping with the health of our planet. I hope to make that the subject of future blog entries. I can’t answer these questions now, though, I’ve had maya architecture one too many Godiva dark chocolate truffles to be thinking straight.
