The Journey
Quote of the Week
Last night I stumbled upon Tom Peter’s blog, where he spends quite a bit of his time and effort bashing the Healthcare Establishment. Dispatches from the New World of Work: Healthcare Archives I agree with much of what Tom has to say, although he could be a little less harsh in how he says it. Maybe Tom’s efforts will help build more urgency for change in an industry that needs it.
To give you a flavor of what Tom has to say, here is the quote of the week: “The “system”—training, docs, insurance incentives, “culture,” “patients” themselves—is hopelessly-mindlessly-insanely (as I see it) skewed toward fixing things (e.g. Me) that are broken—not preventing the problem in the first place and providing the Maintenance Tools necessary for a healthy lifestyle.”
