Hello all,
I was contemplating the death of Stephan Ambrose, he was a historian who was famous for his WWII books from the perspective of the grunts, the ones whose lives were most instrumental in winning the war. While doing this, I started thinking, that the history of the ABC and BOC has not been properly documented. A search online provided minimal recording of the various histories of our profession. Some of the publications have touched on a few individuals. I am asking for help in individuals recounting THEIR personal histories in the formation of our field.
I have been involved with O and P for only 15 years and it has been an interesting time to practice in. I can only imagine what it was like before HMO, Capitated agreements,thermo form plastics, and other things I consider standards. I would like to hear from those that helped us define our standards and helped to further along our field.
Thanks
