Dr. Drug

Hi everyone - hope you all had a nice holiday. I really enjoyed the comments on the last post - people had a range of reactions to the hospital CEO's blog. I think it can definitely be viewed on multiple levels ranging from a personal vanity project to a teaching tool for emerging health care leaders.

Below is a link that Amy asked me to post - this article appeared in the NYT yesterday and it is a very interesting look into the pharma-MD world and covers some ethical ground that may be relevant to the guest lecturer this week. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/magazine/25memoir-t.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5087&em&en=14f86674a4b9bfd7&ex=1196226000

Interesting Blog...

I was surfing around and came across a blog by a hospital CEO in Boston. He offers a unique lens into his hospital and his life as a CEO. Check out his 11/12 post on being a patient in his own facility. What do you think of his blog? Would you like having this type of access to a leader in an organization you are working for? What does it say about his leadership style and why else might he be maintaining a blog such as this one? http://runningahospital.blogspot.com/
