Stop the B.S.
A decade ago, a Pew survey found that 92% of Americans preferred financial 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 over upward 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. If we asked for a healthcare equivalent today, the answer would be the same: people want a stable, functional, reliable healthcare system more than the latest drug, device, or procedure.
Yet, the system churns out endless “progress” and “innovation”:
💊 A new drug with fewer side effects!
🪚 A better surgical technique with less bleeding!
🩸 A blood test that cuts ER visit times by 12 minutes!

Medical research never asks: How do we make care feel stable and dependable? Where are the innovations that get you an appointment in 1 week instead of 2 months? Where is the NIH grant focused on creating day-to-day reliability?
Maybe we’re just building products that don’t fit what the “customer” wants. Do we have no product-market fit?
