I think the following links are the last I mentioned during our recent time together.
National Geographic's "Healthcare Cost Chart" is not only enlightening but reveals the core weirdness of "The Best Healthcare In The World."
As a nation, we content ourselves with costly "medical heroics" whose principal purpose is the prolongation of death while giving short shrift to preventive measures that could prolong life. We focus "the trees" electron-microscopically, ignoring the tangled forest in which we live. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/03/national-geographic-chart-of-per-capita.html

"Best for last" is friend David Stoltze's "The F Word," his acceptance speech upon winning New Mexico's "Physician Of The Year" award (2004). http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-f-word.html
In the late 80s, David and I worked with mutual friend, Ed Myer M.D. (a former Contra War zone Doc) at the Managua Medical School, Universidad Nacional de Nicaragua: Recinto "Rubén Darío."
