Re: Introduction(s) to HCLS IG

I am Rakesh Biswas and I teach and practice medicine in a medical university
in India.

I have been lurking in this list for perhaps more than a year and my current
focus is to develop 'user driven health care'.

I have recently finished a book on medical narratives which takes an oblique
look at ontology:

Hope to continue to learn from this group.
