Why communicating about health matters -- How "normal" am I? -- What are my "risk" factors? -- Why don't we get "care"? -- Is the "public good" good for me? -- Who profits from my health? -- What's politics got to do with it? -- An agenda for the twenty-first century : increase informed choice and consent, or "if I ran the circus...".
