Agreed — keep what works.

Some of that comes from the positive, caring attitude I've encountered from health care workers (including physicians). Some of it comes from what I see as breaking free of assumptions. For instance, there was a time when the prevailing attitude was that only doctors could be trusted with making medical decisions. Today, physicians' assistants pick up a lot of the slack and do an excellent job of providing care. I'm seeing more technology and better communication, saving patients time, money, and frustration. There does seem to be an open mindedness and spirit of experimentation that is alive and well in the health care industry. I'd hate to see us trash a system that saves so many lives and seems (at least to me) to be generally headed in the right direction.
