| Worth Repeating... |
“My view is that we want to provide the highest quality care possible for our patients. In some situations that might be with a remotely located physician; in others, not. I think that as long as we keep our eye on the ball—that ball being the patient—we will be okay in the end.”
— Eric J. Thomas, director of the University of Texas-Memorial Hermann Center for Health Care Quality and Safety, as reported in The New York Times. |

 Ed and I meet for breakfast at RSNA every year and also yak by phone now and again about radiology and the PACS business. Letting me know that he was preparing to lounge by the pool with an umbrella-topped boat drink—while I was back in Pennsylvania slugging it out with winter between the midweek snowstorm and the forecast weekend blizzard—was just a perk.
