Heli Tooman ⟩Who is responsible for human health and well-being?

Emeritus professor Heli Tooman, a member of the Pärnu Hospital Patients’ Council at Tartu University Pärnu College, recently observed a recurring pattern in conversations. These interactions often centered around brief, seemingly simple questions, such as “Hello, how are you doing?” Responses frequently included expressions like “Quick-quick!” and “I don’t remember when I last went on vacation!” Common replies also described a lack of time for activities like walking or watching the sunset, with some individuals recalling reading a book from last summer. Tooman noted that conversations frequently shifted to complaints regarding difficulties within Estonia.

Heli Tooman’s observations reflect a general sense of being “well,” though characterized by a perceived lack of time and frustration.
