Your fear of AI isn't rational, It's prehistoric

You are probably having a hard time deciding on the personal impact and depending but no matter where you fall on the spectrum from “The World is coming to an End” to “Seismic Amazing…

TSA PreCheck for Your Doctor's Office, Please

I Survived the TSA. Then I Tried to Book a Doctor’s Appointment The TSA PreCheck for Your Doctor’s Office If you have flown commercially in the last decade, you know the exact moment the frustration sets in, and if you are flying now, all I can say is good luck. 🙁 It isn’t when the middle seat reclines into your knees. It isn’t even the turbulence. It is the security line. You stand there,…

The Great Healthcare Scavenger Hunt

  If Your Revenue Cycle Depends on Post-It Notes, AI Is Coming for You   Every kitchen has one.  The junk drawer. It’s where everything ends up that doesn’t quite belong anywhere else, spare batteries, random keys, rubber bands, a half-used roll of tape, mysterious cables from devices you no longer own. Somewhere in that chaotic mix is a tool you actually need. Maybe a tiny screwdriver. But when…

The Sandwich Test for Healthcare AI

  The AI Prophecy vs the Ai Airport Cafe I love people watching, and airports are a perfect space and excellent laboratories of human behavior. We’re tired, stressed, hungry, and operating on partial information, and that’s before you even get through the security obstacle course. It is basically the same conditions that define much of our healthcare system. On a recent trip, I witnessed a scene…

Your Heart Didn’t Sign Up for This Snow Day

The Blizzard Workout That Can Kill You Every year, like clockwork, snow falls… and so do a subset of middle-aged men with shovels. We joke about it. The guy in shorts is clearing his driveway at 6 a.m. in a blizzard. The neighbor who treats a Nor’easter like it’s the CrossFit Games. But here’s the punchline that isn’t funny: intense, unaccustomed exertion, especially in cold weather, can be…

The Mona Lisa, the Louvre, and the American Healthcare Waiting Room

The Mona Lisa, the Louvre, and the American Healthcare Waiting Room If you’ve ever tried to see the Mona Lisa in person, you know the feeling: a shuffling mass of humanity, phones held aloft like ritual offerings, security guards barking orders, and a vague sense that whatever you’re looking at cannot possibly justify this level of chaos. You finally glimpse her, tiny, distant, behind glass, and…

Medicine Isn't Takeout - So Why Are We Treating It Like It Is

Streamlining Healthcare, Removing Chaos with Agentic AI Years ago, I was driving across states with a good friend and colleague from Spain. We stopped in at a gas station that had a Subway restaurant on the side. When my Spanish colleague was asked if he wanted his sandwich “To Go,” he looked at me quizzically and asked what they meant (he spoke excellent English). When I explained, he asked why…

The Paris Café and the Unhurried Waiter

Healthcare Reimagined Sit at a busy café in Paris long enough and something unsettling happens: nothing. The waiter doesn’t sprint. No one is shouting about table turnover. There’s no laminated sign behind the counter promising a “Server of the Month” bonus for fastest espresso delivery. And yet, miracle of miracles, the place runs smoothly. Orders arrive. Coffee is hot. Wine keeps flowing. The…

Rural Healthcare Rocks

Rural healthcare is a notoriously tough marketplace. Large proportions of people in rural areas are in poor health and from lower socioeconomic groups. The population is widely dispersed, and low density makes economies of scale difficult to find and sustain. A healthcare facility in a rural setting may be the only one for hundreds of miles; the threat of being acquired by a larger system is…
