Caregiver Observations

Abstract

Introduction: Over the next few weeks, I plan to honour Warren Ferguson, our former Senior Vice Chair of Community Health, who is retiring at the end of the month. He has written 26 pieces for Family Medicine Moments over our 15-year history. He has written about everything from deep patient connection to his own observations as a care giver and as a patient. This piece is the first one he wrote back in 2009. Below, I include the introduction from then.
