Hi there, I'm Drew Weilage and I'm working to make healthcare better for patients.
This is a blog with links to healthcare goings on, trends, and uncategorized interestingness as well as attempts to filter my own healthcare thinking through essay.
I am greatly aware of my idealistic, naive even, views on a number of topics. But frankly, I think healthcare is in dire need of more of the "what's possible/what could be" type of thinking. I'm greatly protective of my unabashed idealism but always open to reason and discourse about any of it.
This is round two of my blogging life, the first being archived here.

The joy of the chase, the reality of slogging
Love this. First the glorious luster of the idea in finding the next big thing:
Google is famously creative at encouraging these breakthroughs; every year, it holds an internal demo fair called CSI — Crazy Search Ideas — in an attempt to spark offbeat but productive approaches.
And then the reality of improvement sets in:
But for the most part, the improvement process is a relentless slog, grinding through bad results to determine what isn’t working.
Progress, it seems, is so much about the grind. Idea-coming-up-with is glorious and absolutely fun to think about. But the making-things-better part is hard, grind it out work. It’s work.
