The next time that I see my T, I am going to ask him, "What's our goal here? What's you're goal?" I want him to answer before me. It's his job, not mine, to have a goal for every patient. It's my job to know what the contract is and work towards it if I'm in agreement with it.

Contract. Yes, I use the word with my other doctors - why not with my T or myself? I don't think that my daily contract would be the same as yours but it would have a 'positive' goal.

This is one of the most thoughtful and doable things that I've read here. I would like to hear from others.

If you could reduce your goal to one sentence what would you write?
