“Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely ‘lipstick’ cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change... Savings will require changing how doctors think about their patients: Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, “as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others.” ThinkingShowsQualityRecordsCuttingEffectsPromiseCostWasteDoctorsRelationPatientMedicalSavingWellnessVagueImprovingImperativesSavingsOathLipstickPublic RelationsPreventionMedical Records Author:Ezekiel Emanuel
“My experience with being on a record label over the years has been when both of your agendas are in sync, and they're the same goal, it's great to have another army of people and resources and money. But most of the time, they're not the same. Their agenda is just simply to sell plastic discs at any cost, and yours is to preserve - at least in my case - your integrity, and hopefully sell some plastic discs, too.” PeopleYearsHas BeensGoalCasesRecordsIntegrityCostResourcesArmySellsHopefullyLabelsPreservesAgendasPlasticRecord LabelsDiscsSync Author:Trent Reznor

“Metallica lives in a little bubble. We just do our own thing. We're not part of any trends or waves or fads. We can just do our own thing, all the time. It's a great luxury. I don't think we were really appreciative of it until recently, and really understood that it is what keeps us alive. It's great to be able to have the freedom to run around and do all this crazy stuff, and at all cost, avoid making another record, just to piss our managers off.” ThinkingLittlesRunningAbleStuffRecordsAliveCrazyCostUnderstoodWaveLuxuryManagersTrendsBubblesFadsAppreciativeMetallica Author:Lars Ulrich
