"Teaching and student learning; health care and better health are not linear relationships. There are too many human variables that , up to now, have been uncontrollable.
All the expertise of the physician gets undermined when patients don’t follow through on medical advice such as don’t smoke, don’t eat too much salt. Many patients, even those with sufficient funds, don’t fill and take their prescriptions.
All the expertise of a teacher gets undermined when children are poorly fed, left unsupervised at home , and come to school without encouragement from home to do their best.
There is an eagerness of patients and families to forgive and forget their own personal responsibility for better health and stronger education."
