During the war that ensued in Japan, the Mori clan faced a tough dilemma. Many of the neighboring clans in the Southern part of Japan converted to Christianity. This conversion gave these clans common ground and helped connect them to form an alliance. Mori was not a Christian clan, so this strong alliance that surrounded their borders was an immediate threat to the safety of their clan and their goal of becoming shogun.

The number of practicing primary care physicians (PCP’s) continues to decrease as aging PCP’s retire and new Doctors into the more sought after specialized fields. Higher salaries and better hours will continue to influence physicians to practice in specialized fields, leading to an increased utilization of specialist and an overall inefficient healthcare system. Only 30% of all physicians are PCP’s (compared to about 70% in most other developed countries and about 70% in the United States fifty years ago). Using Dr. Eliyahu M.
