Getting Doctors And Patients On The Same Team: A Basketball Metaphor For Health Care - Better Health
....But for the business of medicine, it’s all about the zone.... But what happens when the patients change tactics?.....What if the patient’s psyche or medical issues don’t follow the typical playbook?....So the players become confused.....

Sustainability is not the issue: Let's focus on quality -- Hébert et al. 183 (8): 885 -- Canadian Medical Association Journal
"It’s no exaggeration to say that people have been proclaiming a crisis in Canadian health care for decades. Perhaps that rhetoric is wearing thin....)

response to prior letter: HINI and Cancer
Note/background: Please reference prior blog postings Nov 1-5th, 2009 regarding the apparent lack of access to care of an ovarian cancer woman and the systemic issues surrounding the H1N1.
email response (better late than never) December 2, 2009 4:57 pm:
"Thank you for writing and bringing to my attention your concerns regarding the government’s handling of the H1N1 vaccine roll out. As you are aware, the vaccine is now available to all members of the public.
Your views and comments are appreciated and helpful to my work as Leader of Canada’s New Democrats.
Between the conflicting messages, queue jumping, and sole sourced contracts; we feel the federal government could have done a better job handling the distribution of the vaccine. NDP Health Critic Judy Wasylycia-Leis continues to be our lead on this issue and you can review her work by visiting: http://www.judywl.ndp.ca/news/health.
Looking forward, we will continue to press the federal government to take a proper role in helping Canadians stay healthy and providing access to treatment when needed through:
- promoting healthy living
- hiring and training more doctors and nurses
- creating a pan-Canadian home care program
- ensuring prescription medicines are affordable
If you are interested in our plans to improve health care in Canada, I encourage you to check for details here: http://www.ndp.ca/platform/healthcare.
Again, thank you for sharing your views and comments as they helpful to my work as Leader of Canada’s New Democrats. All the best.
Sincerely,
Jack Layton, MP (Toronto-Danforth)
Leader, Canada's New Democrats"
