Led by executive producer/director Ron Howard, the producers sought permission to shoot scenes inside two churches in Rome's historic center for the film adaptation of Brown's prequel to "The Da Vinci Code."

And that encourages a "blame-the-victim" mentality, she added. "It's pretty hard when you're having to tell a sick patient to go traipsing around to a lab to get tests done," she said. Gordon, an adjunct professor in the School of Nursing, noted that some believe that commodifying health care turns patients into consumers and takes paternalism out of the health-care system by giving "customers" more choices about treatments and services.īut Gordon argued that this way of thinking actually shifts the burden of responsibility for getting proper care onto patients and away from health-care providers. "Knowledge and training just isn't on their radar screen." That has meant that nurses no longer have the time to properly act as mentors to each other and share knowledge acquired on the job. ![]() Under a free market system where health care is treated as a business, training is not valued the same way it is in a system where patient care is the overriding concern, Gordon said.
