Fail mindfully

We celebrate bold entrepreneurs whose ingenuity led them to success, but what happens to those who fail?

Excellent innovation! Very reminiscent of South Central Foundation and their goal of specialty access in 5 min (via phone consult) - nice pursuit of 2nd order vs 1st order change. One question that wasn't addressed is that of remuneration of the physician time for those in a FFS model. Anyone in Ontario know how that is addressed?

About a decade ago, two Ottawa doctors were puzzling over a common problem for family physicians trying to get answers for their patients: long waits for consultations with a specialist.Patients so…

This. Is. My. Life. We don’t have hearing loss hoops, but we have plenty of other hoops. The health system and government need to seriously reckon with the burden of care, i.e. the burden placed on people to receive care or service.
