Thanks to Andrew and Carey for their thoughtful replies

I like the feeling that cultural change embodies risk and personal change

All entrepreneurs take prudent risks and view mistakes as learning rather than failure

I agree 100% about “changing perspective to see life as a learning journey rather than a conspiracy”. Perspective on events that occur is more important than the actual event itself.

For example, if your plane is delayed, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or take the extra time to pick up a book or magazine on a topic that you are interested in.

As for your example with the orthopedic surgeon, he probably put his previous employer in the same situation when he was fresh out of school. So, you could look at it as the cost of success that he has to take the risk with each new associate that was taken with him.

Collaborative fairness is an important concept as mentioned. Your summary of the article as well as the questions posed underscore that collaboration and change are essential to redefining a new mission and role for ourselves in a very different healthcare system. But collaboration and change aren’t always easy and aren’t always fair if all parties can’t achieve a synergy of understanding where they become advocates, allies and agents of change in this dialogue. It seems like the healthcare system has plenty of innovative agendas for a different healthcare system rooted in collaboration, community and dialogue but change is precluding collaborative fairness. The willingness to change ourselves and find a new role for ourselves in a different healthcare system takes risks since there are heavy consequences of identity and identification during any change effort. These changes would disrupt our inadequate and outdated understandings of what it means to me a physician, medical partitioner and patient and what it means to engage in collaborative decision making. These changes are a step in the right direction. Moreover, as you point out, change must not only fall on physicians but also on patients who together, create a dialogue that will redefine a new mission that is at its heart, collaborative and fair. We must be willing to change ourselves in order for our role(s) to be conducive to a very different, dynamic and responsible healthcare system…Thanks for a terrific post!
