The Apache Ii Scale
Medical studies have demonstrated
that most doctors are
overly optimistic
when giving prognostic
information,
that is, they tend to overstate
how long the patient
might
live.
For patients who are critically ill,
particularly those in an intensive care unit,
there are numerical prognostic scoring systems
that are more accurate.

Competition makes things come out right. Well, what does that mean in health care? More hospitals so they compete with each other. More doctors compete with each other. More pharmaceutical companies. We set up war. Wait a minute, let's talk about the patient. The patient doesn't need a war.

The Information Age offers much to mankind, and I would like to think that we will rise to the challenges it presents. But it is vital to remember that information — in the sense of raw data — is not knowledge, that knowledge is not wisdom, and that wisdom is not foresight. But information is the first essential step to all of these.
