More From Michael Porter

Although a government study found that men's health was much worse than women's health or the health of any minority group, headlines around the country read: 'minorities face large health care gap.' they did not say: 'men face large health care gap.' why? because we associate the sacrifice of men's lives with the saving of the rest of us, and this association leads us to carry in our unconscious an incentive not to care about men living longer.

It's been the greatest gift that i've been given. because no matter how much my parents have asked me to be more patient, no matter much my husband has asked me to be more patient, none of it mattered until i had a kid. and then all of sudden i was like, "oh. i have to be more patient." they were all like, "yeah! we've been telling you that for twenty years!" and i find it to be a gift. every day i'm more patient.

Health care historically has been a very siloed field that's organized around medical specialties - urology, cardiac surgery, and so forth - and around the supply of these specialty services. the patient is the ping-pong ball that moves from service to service.
Moving Balls Ping Pong
The medicalization of early diagnosis not only hampers and discourages preventative health-care but it also trains the patient-to-be to function in the meantime as an acolyte to his doctor. he learns to depend on the physician in sickness and in health. he turns into a life-long patient.
