From a perspective of (Eric)
is a researcher and doctor turned intra-preneur and given resources
- he is kinda like super hero status
- a call to action to patients / society
- also autobiographical and venting :)

On Technology
Has a lot of interest and respect for the digital revolution
He is amazed at what it has been able to do
His description may not accurately describe the "build up" before the iPhone

Other interesting observations
Has a reputation for breaking the rules and pissing people off
Has been fired from the hospital he founded for (essentially) innovation
Luckily he has a pair of great backers, so that is able to work free of the system

Incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one.

Current Status and Health Reform
Reform: mainly operational, not better health
But currently needed because there is no alignment for innovation in health
Overuse and Wrong use, No prevention
