Miguel- Very interesting. That the AP "decision" to reverse historical use of this word (in order to make it easier on patients?) is correct, according to the head nincompoop, because "we made the decision". That seemed to be the position as it appeared in this article. We made the decision so it is correct (fact is, I suspect it has more to do with lazy journalism). It would seem it is time for a LOT of letters and email to this idiot as it appears the only thing that might change this "mind" is if it is expedient for the decision to be reversed.
