our own system
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.

“If only” (you’d embrace the constraints)
“If only I had one more employee…”
“If only I had a bigger budget…”
“If only I had the newest tool…”
The “if only” plea is often evidence of problems much larger than what the proposed solution would seem to address. Rarely is “if only” an ultimatum between success and failure as some make it out to be.
Near as I can tell there are two options:
- Hide behind the excuse that circumstances will only improve “if only” the request is granted, or
- Embrace the constraints, get creative, and craft a solution.
