It's taken 35 yrs of practicing medicine, wading through a helluva lot of complex, unnecessary and stupid healthcare fixes for me to give birth to Unorthodoc®, the direct primary care practice organized around the patient-provider relationship in a way both familiar and radical. Our affordable membership program is modeled after community-supported agriculture, except instead of fresh produce, we deliver fresher, more nourishing health care. This is the medicine I was born to practice.

Ironically, the interference of poorly conceived technology nearly drove me into early retirement. Had I never experienced the power of intuitive design around what humans need, I would be teaching swing dancing by now. I'm not a code artist, not even a code amateur. But I know good code when my life is enriched by it. I have wandered into OpenEMR because I believe in the motivating power of community. I may have nothing to add in terms of code creation, but make something that protects or customizes the precious real estate between my eyes and my patient's and I will contribute both honest critique and heart-felt praise.
