Who the Health Cares?

After the hotties from Rocketboom, now politics has a daily quickie from another cutie called Lindsay Campbell (the site Moblogic.tv is run by CBS rather than some indie company), but this episode, Who the Health Cares?, points out very sensibly that the Democrats in Congress aren’t really interested in health reform the way that Clinton and Obama say they are.

Lindsay thinks that all the Dems should sign onto the Conyers single payer bill….

CarePages at BIDMC

A suggestion from e-Patient Dave after his treatment at our hospital last year prompted us to start offering Carepages to our patients. The idea is to make it easy for people to create and update a private and personalized web page where they can share their latest news with friends and family and receive messages of support. There is no charge to the patient for this service.
Similar services had been available to patients if they made an effort to find them, but Dave was right to suggest that we offer it directly. For some reason, we were a bit behind the times on this matter, and I am glad he pointed it out to us.
Proving again that patients really have good ideas about how to make life better for patients. Duh!

King of the Serengeti

 

While we’re on the theme of the health care jungle, here’s one more for you. This young lion and his buddy spent the night feasting on this buffalo.

While I was away….

   

I met this little baby cheetah….

Meanwhile, over at Spot-on I’m up discussing the McCain health care plan and some of the Democratic reactions to it.

My six weeks of traveling the world on an extended honeymoon is
over. With my lovely wife Amanda I’ve been diving on coral reefs,
sleeping under the stars with the Bedouin, exploring 3,500 year-old
tombs, watching lions tear apart a buffalo, and tracking chimps hanging
out in the rain forest.

What better way to return than to enter the jungle of U.S. Presidential politics? MORE As ever come back here to comment.
