" Patients appear to be the problem in modern high-tech health care: they are
uninformed, anxious, noncompliant folk with unhealthy lifestyles. They de-
mand drugs advertised by celebrities on television, insist on unnecessary but
expensive computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans, and may eventually turn into plaintiffs. Patients’ lack of health literacy
and the resulting costs and harms have received much attention."

Please read this very thought-provoking article called The Century of the Patient, which talks about how we can help patients to become better informed !

Salman Khan is my hero ! Not the Bollywood star, but this Harvard grad, who has created a 1600+ video library which has become " the most-used educational video resource as measured by YouTube video views per day and unique users per month. " His next step is to " complement this ever-growing library with user-paced exercises--developed as an open source project--allowing the Khan Academy to become the free classroom for the World."

What do I love about him ?

1. It's the work of one person - which proves that it takes just one person to improve the world
2. He started small - without waiting for funding !
3. He dreams big !
