“When I climb Mount Rainier I face less risk of death than I’ll face on the operating table.” —Don Berwick, “Six Keys to Safer Hospitals: A Set of Simple Precautions Could Prevent 100,000 Needless Deaths Every Year,” Newsweek (1212.2005)

The Ultimate “Culture Change” “Healthcare” vs. “Health”

Home-care (as the population rapidly ages) Med-school re-orientation “Public health” emphasis Childhood Obesity Mind-boggling (15 years?) social-moral-technological impact of life sciences (“the Singularity”?) H5N1/WMDs/Environmental degradation Risk assessment (private, public) Market opportunity Public vs/+ Private responsibilities & partnerships Africa!

“If God spoke to me by saying, ‘Mark, you’re down to your last three words: What would you want to say to your fellow humans that would make the most positive impact?’ It would be a close call between Love Thy Neighbor and Wash Your Hands . A close third would be Move, Move, Move.” —Mark Pettus, M.D., The Savvy Patient “The most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands. ” —CDC/National Center for Infectious Diseases
