First you make an appt for a preventative physical a year ahead of time and then you wait 45 minutes (and counting) for your doctor to show up for said appt. The American medical system is great, is what I’m saying.

Game-changing innovation generally happens when we create space for ideas that seem impossible today. And when we recognize that breakthrough discoveries can come from places & people we might not expect. History teaches us that we win by betting on human curiosity before we know where it leads.
