WHAT ABOUT US

Many of you have read Ellen Baer's and Suzanne Gordon's article, ''Mon ey Managers are Unravelling the Thread of Nursing,'' in a recent issue of the American Journal of Nursing. The following article, written by Bob Lederer, a long time activist for alternative, holistic treatment s for persons with AIDS, adds the community's voice to nursing's conce rns about the constraints placed on health care delivery by undue emph asis on the monetary bottom line. I hope a recognition of this shared concern will fuel further collaboration between nursing and community groups toward a more humane, less mercenary ideal of treatment for per sons with AIDS, and for health care reform in general.
