Table of contents: title: Business in the front, party in the back, and common sense pushed out the door : what are the things we refuse to talk about in health care and why do they matter?; title: Just because we can, does it mean we should? : what do dinosaurs, George Clooney, and the art of medicine have in common?; title: The people vs. the patient : how science, data, and technology are threatening the art of medicine; title: The lever to move medicine : business is the driver of change in health care, for better or worse; title: Kenny, $84,000 and rainbows : bewildering payment systems, surreal codes, and needless complexity are creating distrust and frustration for all of us; title: Streets paved with gold and good intentions : how electronic health records are driving keystrokes over human touch, information over communication, and the pursuit of data over wisdom; title: All the wrong questions : how quality metrics and our focus on value-based pay are getting in the way of the motivations that actually produce the best results; title: The single source of truth is the practice : the right questions, from the front lines of medicine, can lead us back to balance; title: Insisting on the impossible : starting a new conversation in health care begins with shifting away from some of the old ones, and believing we can put excellence, not mediocrity, at the heart of medicine once again.
