Ignorance is bliss-no kidding!

Learning all these exciting movements and initiatives around patient safety is fascinating.  But, more than that for me it is rocking my world. I’m not talking about the exciting-lighting-the-fire-in-me rocking.  I mean it is all but literally tearing apart my idea of what my role should be in medicine. I cannot, after this camp, continue to act as if I do not or cannot play a role in making medicine more about the patient. I cannot unhear all the resources, the mentors and the already pioneered programs that have started making a difference.  I came on this trip with such ignorance (& bliss), I refuse to leave the same way.
