title: The Holy Grail and health care.
abstract: As we prepare to embark upon this new millennium, we do not meet the new age as "tabula rasa." Rather, some of the myths and legends of the last still resonate within us. And they resound not just to entertain, but to awaken us to the deeper mysteries of our lives. One of these current mysteries is the pervasive malady of our health care system. This article will briefly sketch the legend of the Holy Grail. We will then examine some of the deeper meanings of it in Jungian perspective and then bring the story to bear on the health care industry.
