Normative forces – excerpts 7–8

7In Nieuwegein we had a severe shortage of flu shots, so we shared them out among ourselves. Tom had ten left over and Dick had ten, so we passed them around and that was that. And the financing will sort itself out afterwards, it's not a big deal

And that was an incredibly pleasant way to work. So, yes, many of their decisions simply revolved around us. I mean, the nursing staff, the cleaning staff, just all the service providers, the physicians. And that was very gratifying … Practices that suddenly left you much freer in your work
