Still fangirling

Atul Gawande is still the man. If there was anyone that I would be tempted to worship and make a golden calf in his honor, it would be him.
He was a guest commentary for the New York TImes in May. Unfortunately, these all required a paid subscription, but I finally scrunged them up on the web, so if you’d like to read them, they can be found at my medical blog, here (I know, I have way too many blogs).
Read his commentary about Sicko and the debate about universal health care here. I think it’s one of the best articles, as always, for addressing that the issue of medical reform is complex, but there are several different methods that we could try and then reject if necessary, that are better than the current system.

lecture
Just to make you jealous, he is comming here to give an open lecture at Huntsman on the 24th. I would love to go but may be difficult with the peanut in tow. I know, you could fly in for the weekend, stay on my couch and we could go together (baby wrangling is much easier with two people). What do you say? Anyway thanks for the article links, I especially liked “the way we age now” one. It’s nice to see support for geriatrics once in a while, I love my clinic. Even if the medicine isn’t flashy the old folks are awesome. Love ya sweetie,
