McGill Cultural Revolution!

I always thought I'd be the one doing the brainwashing in pursuit of world domination. Who would have guessed that I'd be the one getting indoctrinated? I wouldn't have noticed that anything was happening were it not for this conversation.

Josh: Why "client"? Isn't it "patient"?
Judy: The McGill stand is that people don't have to be ill to receive nursing care, so it's more appropriate to call them "clients".
Josh: Why are they getting treatment otherwise?
Judy: A new mother doesn't have to be sick to get information about her newborn. It's a more holistic way of looking at health. "Client" can refer to an individual, a family or a community.
Josh: Ah. Do you have a little red book written by Chairman McGill?
Judy: Well, I do have a red book. It's not very little though.

And look at this quote from Mao Tse Tung's Little Red Book:
"This army is powerful because all its members have a conscious discipline; they have come together and they fight not for the private interests of a few individuals or a narrow clique, but for the interests of the broad masses and of the whole nation. The sole purpose of this army is to stand firmly with the Chinese people and to serve them whole-heartedly."

If you replace "this army" with "McGill" and "Chinese people" with "clients", you have the basic gist of McGill model of nursing. Scary.

Join me, comrades, in the McGill Cultural Revolution (or is it Nursing Revolution?)! If you see me dressed in drab grey clothing, ominously muttering about the human condition and "transformation of the profession", please take me away to a deprogramming farm. Just don't bonk me on the head with a baseball bat.
