Thanks Tom for my morning dose of Inspiration. My favourite is "You miss 100% of the shots you never take"

For a view of medical excellence and the extraordinary difference an individual can make in extending the lives of cystic fibrosis suffers via experimentation and drive, have look at http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/12/06/041206fa_fact?printable=true

Tom, I enjoyed the slides. I liked:
"The problem is rarely the problem. The response to the problem ends up being the real problem."

You inspired us at Hopkins! Thanks again. I have to say I was so happy to see how much fun you were having. Way to practice what you preach.

Rick,
Thank you for the link to the
New Yorker article on medical results.
Terrifying and fascinating.

Brilliant New Yorker article. Love this quote: "What the best may have, above all, is a capacity to learn and adapt — and to do so faster than everyone else." Sounds like TP to me ....

He has a new book out which may be of interest if you like his New Yorker article as much as I did.

Personally, I'm partial to the picture of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
