Edison the Sponge

My brother-in-law, Dan O’Connell, sent along a link worth sharing with all those interested in reforming and improving our health care system. It’s produced by Frank Attwood, who makes a living these days “channeling” the life and insights of Thomas Edison. I was especially taken by two clips. One defining the inventor as a sponge, and the other defining the inventor as a poet.( Number 3 and 4 in the list of video clips.) Together, they suggest that the substantial transformation of the health care system, sought today by the people and the people caring for the people, will likely be triggered by unique insights originating in one’s own mind or borrowed and reconfigured from another’s mind. Take a look!
