A DOCTOR WRITES 7 WORDS - Music to My Eyes; Hope for Our Health

Power to the people: Patient in command

Dr. Bernard Lown's blog

Posted on November 3, 2012 

Dr. Lown is a Nobel winner; I wish I knew him.  He blows open the doors to the hype locker where buzz-words are ready to pile on us and convince us that progress is being made in concentrating on patients.

I wanted to quote it all.  At least I have to quote this one phrase for educational purposes, and because it is a keystone of my beloved CA primary doctor's practice:

"A doctor typing away into the informational catacomb of a computer is not patient time." 

Dr. Lown is fighting the real patient care battle for us. 

Let's fight buzzwords, hidden clauses limiting our choices, and disappearing doctor contact.  Fight hard.

Knowledge is power.  Please read his Power article.  bernardlown.wordpress.com
