I had the opportunity to hear Don Berwick's video on his reasons for getting engaged, which was his terminology. I believe he is correct, we can not be bystanders and allow other to determine our decisions without getting involved and informed. He brought up the point that this is a mutual responsibility and its like an arena. So learn about healthcare, fight and get engaged in the politics and don't just be a bystander and let people decide for you without your input.

Dr. Berwick's comments remind of the story of the physician who treats three different men on three different days after all three fall down a hole. On the third day, the physician went out with a shovel and covered the hole. However, our current divisive climate needs to invite healthcare providers to assess why was there a hole to begin with and come together to figure out what we can do to help prevent "the hole". We have moved away from a healthy debate based on evidence to what I consider to be "epistemic chaos": everyone postulating a belief not based on granular data and an inability to take heed of factual evidence yet calling it factual. We as healthcare providers have a responsibility to engage in the public discourse, educate the public, engage in healthy debate that promotes solutions to our the problems that plague our society: income based life expectancy differences, access to healthcare especially to vulnerable populations, realistic metrics to assess and improve on quality and value when delivering healthcare, cost containment and responsible use of resources among others.

"The role of a bystander is not a neutral role" Puts well into perspective a lot of people's stands on a lot matters around the world
