Sorry, Raff2145 . . . I'll admit I was trying to remember something that one of my PhD professors said over 30 years ago. I promise I'll never use that analogy again, EVER. Here's my new one: "If you sat down to count from one to one billion, you would be counting for 95 years." Okay? Thanks for your correction.

uh....he could've used a better analogy (or calculator)for a billion. if you work it out....it's not a billion dollars to the moon. it's 1,915,741,731,645.5692... if he was even remotely close (within a hundred billion) i wouldn't have said anything....but he is nearly 2000 billion dollars off. either be right or be wrong in your message. there can not be somethings right and somethings wrong if you're expecting to teach anything.

Great stuff. You want this guy running your hospital.

Great ideas. Great blog.

Awesome... Nick Jacobs shows the way for 21st century healthcare.
