Re: jay parkinson + md + mph = doctor in brooklyn - We believe that this is the only known photograph...

Mr Phinead Gage was perhaps the first famous (or infamous) patient I learned about in medical school but had never seen a picture from him. Thais for sharing Jay. I hope ePatient Dave and the stories of many more ePatients make it into medical books in the near future. So much to learn from them. If we wanted to. If we listened a bit more.

You are right. I made the calculation with .1 instead of .01. Thanks!
Nonetheless 1M is fantastic.

Correct! And checklists can be more cost-effective than Patient
Simulation Centres. A few days ago the World Health Organization
released checklists for surgical patients. All WHO checklists are

Thanks for your comment. A paper that could enrich our discussion is

Self-awareness<http: www.convegniateneo.unifi.it="" presentations="" snowden_complex_acts.pdf="">.
You may have seen it already as part of your MBA. In case you have not seen

Re: Health, Innovation and Modernity - What is uHealth?

carlosrizo — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:02:06 -0000

I don't think the post is contradicting because it is not defining uHealth
at all. The post suggest the possibility of what the 'u' may mean or stand
for. Similarly to eHealth most likely 'uhealth' has a positive connotation
but I wanted to show that it could have a negative one.

I am interested to know more about e-ehealth and e-uhealth but definitively
more about mmm-ehealth-c2 ( miraculous meta massive health
collaboration/correlation).

Agree though we have to wait until i-Web 3.x... Let's talk to the marketers
of healthcare.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for reading/looking at my blog. It seems we have similar interests! I
am always fascinated with Kurzweil's ability to capture the future -- today.
He is certainly one of my favourite authors; I also think Dr. Jill Bolte
Taylor's TED talk is very moving but have not seen the book yet. Thanks for
the recommendation. I just started the Diving Bell and The Butterfly and I
have not been able to go beyond the second chapter. It very painful
especially for me who could have been bound to a wheel chair two years ago
in a neck injury. One day I'll write a book detailing my ordeal and full
recovery.

Cheers,

Carlos
