| What a great time to be developing content. You can hardly view social media without finding the seeds of yet another story related to healthcare policy, breakthrough research, or the affordable healthcare act from whatever partisan prism you have on hand. The video over on the right is slightly over-produced but don't let that stop you from the message from Steven Nissen, MD. Medical education in the US is primarily funded by industry serving the unique role of developing each generation into the perfect customer. So what, you might ask? Early in my content development career I witnessed medical education companies and other content stakeholders blurring the boundaries between promoting improvements in healthcare and serving proprietary interests of a commercial entity. |
 Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.--Martin Luther King Jr. | I feel aligned with the patients and empowered to facilitate discussions of health. Not necessarily medical intervention or working for a system that makes it difficult to deliver the right care. If you can acknowledge that we are medicalized from the time we are born until the time that we die you can make a difference. We don't really need more healthcare reform, we need a radical transformation. |
