Laugh, Sing, and Eat Like a Pig

How did I miss this?! That'll teach me to take a vacation while a future best seller hits the marketplace!

When I first heard that Dave deBronkart (aka e-Patient Dave) was writing a book, several thoughts went through my mind. The first one being, "I wonder if he'll be kind enough to autograph mine for me?" Less selfish musings quickly followed. It's a story that needs telling. He'll definitely make it to Oprah. When it's a best seller--it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I'm sure hundreds, if not thousands of people have an e-Patient Dave story to tell.

20 people who make healthcare better

I followed a link in a tweet today to an article in Health Leaders Media that put the spotlight on 20 people who make healthcare better. I'm not sure if the profiles are in any particular order, but I was pleased to note that three of the first four on the list were familiar names--Atul Gawande, Dave deBronkart, and Daniel Sands, MD. Full of confidence in my ability to identify and pursue the right "people in motion," I scanned the remaining names on the list and did not recognize any of them. The good news is that there are 17 more interesting people I plan to learn about.
