@ePatientDave TY for pointing out that anti-patient rant. It's among the most offensive pieces I've read on pharma & health care priorities.
The Problem with Patient Power
http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidgrainger/2014/11/03/the-problem-with-patient-power/Of course, like all such trends the importance of patient action groups will eventually fade. Once every possible cause has an equally well-oiled media machine, the impact of any individual special interest declines back to baseline.

"A conversation with Abraham Verghese"
http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2015spring/time-lines.htmlI get impatient with physician essays that revolve around a physician encountering medicine as a patient, often for the first time. And with it comes suddenly this epiphany about life and the nature of medicine. And I always think, “Really? It took that experience for you to understand this?
a sense of this being hallowed ground. You’re entering sacred space and given the great privilege to see people in distress and to treat.

Gilbert Welch, who taught us all so much in his last book, Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health.
