I am not a chicken
One of my favorite books is ‘Orbiting the Giant Hairball‘ by Gordon MacKenzie. Subtitled “A Corporate Fool’s Guide to Surviving with Grace,” my favorite chapter is titled ‘A Chicken’s Fate’. In it, the author described his fathers’ discovery that chickens can be mesmerized:
The cousin led the way to the ramshackle chicken coop out behind the farmhouse.
There he selected a fine white hen. He carried her under his arm to the front of the house, produced a piece of chalk and drew a short line on the porch. He stood the creature over the chalk line and held her beak to it...

Mark Weiss: Should health care administrators be personally liable for misconduct?
The following idea really struck a chord with me:
The problem: We all want accountability in healthcare. Physicians and other providers face the ultimate accountability: they are personally liable for their professional negligence. They cannot hide behind a corporate shield – that’s been the law, well, forever. But hospital and other healthcare executives are not personally liable for the misconduct that they, personally, whether by omission or commission, engage in.The fix: Extend personal liability based on negligence standards to all administrators with direct or indirect control over any healthcare related decisi...

Health Care Renewal: From a physician and former USAF air traffic controller/pilot on the state of healthcare IT
I love this post on Health Care Renewal on what wrong with Health IT today. We are about to begin using a new system in the operating room and I’ve been struggling to express why I hate it. This sums it up”
