| Healthcare IT from the Investor’s Chair 11/17/09 (4 comments) If you own a share of EPIC it is worth NOTHING until you sell it. And usually a private company has very tight restrictions on if you can sell it at all and who you can sell it to. And that’s the really big problem for EPIC in future years. If Jud [...] |  HIS Junkie 2009-11-18 21:47:50 |
| Monday Morning Update 11/16/09 (14 comments) Echoing the comments of others, enough with the ATM metaphor. It fails miserably until ATMs figure out a way to kill us through negligence.

| News 11/6/09 (13 comments) Dear Ms. Kohn, your comment appears as an attack on docs, in effect saying “doctors don’t learn anger management – and now look what this psychiatrist did.” If that was not your intent I’m sure others will be interested in knowin’ wha you reall [...] | Ali Baba 2009-11-09 18:20:29 |

| Readers Write 10/27/09 (20 comments) Appreciate Saravana’s further clarification of the contribution of XDS.
