The fear of offending those in whom you place your life and health still exists but it also slowly being replaced by a hesitant but emerging aggressive demand for fairness. People are realizing that the power inequality is changing and they are now willing to stick their heads out a little more. I guess this is a function of economic strata and access to services that one can afford to pay for coupled with a growing awareness and the breaking down of the hallowed barriers that surrounded medicine.
