| Jan 18, 2017 at 13:43 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | As you wish: I found your comment, as is your wont, to be tactlessless (tactless free). Maybe we can say untactless? | |
| Jan 18, 2017 at 13:39 | comment | added | Spagirl | @Clare Not at all, i think it's useful to leave it here as more rounding out. I wasn't meaning for you to change anything. I just worded that a bit tactlessly, no need to change a thing. | |
| Jan 18, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | @ Spagirl ah, yes, I see that you did. How would you like me to proceed? It can delete my comment above and this response also... | |
| Jan 18, 2017 at 13:31 | comment | added | Spagirl | @Clare Cheers. I paraphrased that in comments on the question, but left it out of this answer as initially I was citing just an article whose authors claimed to have coined the term, which I thought took precedence. Now, however, it seems that definitions isn't exactly what was in the Navarro source cited in the question. | |

The history of the word “patient” brings with it suffering and paternalism. We want people to be free of suffering and to be able to manage their health most effective way possible. We want to be free of suffering, and where possible, allow all people to improve their personal health and performance." | |
