Connect Engage Advocate Unify. Staff Safety. Dr Michael Davidson. January 28, 2016. Do you remember him? He was a physician at the prestigious Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. A deceased patient’s son shot him to death. Today, the staff celebrated his life. It’s too bad they weren’t celebrating the great care he was still giving to patients. 😦. Dr Davidson was the same age as me. Here’s a quote about him from a colleague:. So, he was a patient advocate, talented, brilliant, and murdered. When I w...

I really hate doing that, but I doubt myself and the admin team will be able to finance the grassroots revolution of healthcare ourselves. 🙂. Ok, so this is what you can do.

Connect Engage Advocate Unify. Guest Post, Dr Gregory House on Addiction. January 25, 2016. January 25, 2016. Today’s guest post is by. Good evening, healthcare.

It’s like they are ashamed or something. Or maybe they are afraid that they will be treated badly, or not treated at all. I guess I lie too. S he st...
