Go ahead, call me what you may. Group me into a neatly, prejudged category: “All you doctors.” Just don’t label me a sponge. That’s right. Recently in the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Andy Kessler, famous author and former hedge fund manager smart enough to turn $100 million into $1 billion, grouped doctors into a sub-category of the service economy which he labeled as “sponges.” We could have done worse: His other categories included “sloppers” (DMV workers), “slimers” (financial planners), and “thieves” (cable companies). It seems that doctors — along with cosmetologists, lawyers, and real estate brokers — offend him because of the tests and licenses that we deem necessary: Sponges are those who earned t...

BMJ 2010;340:c1409), "Ghostwriting at Elite Academic Medical Centers in the United States" (LaCasse & Leo, PLoS Medicine, February 2010, Volume 7, Issue 2) and others about ghostwriting and other ills affecting the conventional biomedical literature, I provided my students the personal example below.I thou...

It should be ridiculously simple to establish trust among consumers, and communicate the value your healthcare organization provides. All you have to do is be sure each and EVERY message and interaction ('touch') reinforces the patient's perspective that we are receiving consumer-centric care designed just for us.This doesn't have to be painful for your communications team, and it doesn't mean you relegate good medicine and safe patient care to the sidelines. Case in point: the short, very sweet message I just got when I confirmed my subscription to Method's email blast.Instead of a boring line telling me...
